Wheel of Fortune fans lost it when a contestant on Tuesday’s episode had a rather unfortunate gaffe, just one month after another viral missolve.
Phil McManus from Palmer, Massachussets got up to $9,800 on a three-word Same Letter puzzle, which had the first two words filled out – Chocolates and Chestnuts.
After buying the last vowel – I – the third word was narrowed down to CHI_NE_S, when he decided to solve: “Chocolate Chestnuts and Chickens’ Phil said, which was not correct.
The next contestant – Matt Komma from Riverton, Utah, solved immediately, with the correct response: “Chocolates Chestnuts and Chimneys.’
Wheel fans were quick to respond on social media, skewering Phil for the missolve, including @WheelRob10.
@WheelRob10 shared a screengrab of Phil’s missolve, adding, ‘That was my shopping list last weekend. #WheelofFortune.’

@CouplaColdies shared a video of the missolve, adding, ‘Christmas theme episode of Wheel of Fortune! And this was the guess by the contestant.’
‘Love Wheel of Fortune but where do these contestants come from #chickens #wheeloffortune,’ the fan added.
Another fan, @dfwheat, brought up last month’s viral missolve, tweeting, ‘Treat yourself a round of sausage! And chickens! #wheeloffortune’
Last month’s missolve came from Will Jordan of Wethersfield, Connecticut, who guessed, ‘Treat yourself a round of sausage,’ with the correct response, ‘Give yourself a round of applause.’
@itsallrealitv got a bit political, tweeting, ‘#wheeloffortune The answer was Chickens. No wonder Trump got elected.’
Another X user, ‘@ACinPhilly, tweeted the video, adding, ‘Chocolates, Chestnuts and…. #WheelOfFortune.’
@squand4 said, ‘When I think of chocolates and chestnuts, the next word I think of is chickens. #WheelofFortune
Wheel fan @ReginaldLBarnes was in disbelief, tweeting, ‘Did that man look at that puzzle and say Chocolate, Chestnuts and Chickens??? For a Christmas puzzle?!?’

Before the game began, Phil revealed to the audience he was, ‘handed a death sentence two years ago,’ adding he was told, ‘you’re pretty much done.’
He made a bucket list of three items – rock band Blink-182 reuniting, attending WrestleMania and going to Disneyland.
‘I’d never been to Disneyland, and I actually went last night for the first time, and I’m actually in remission now,’ Phil said as the crowd applauded.
Phil also said he had ‘at least 45 tattoos total,’ and several of those are Disney-themed including Haunted Mansion’s Madame Leota on my hand.’
‘I got my little hidden Mickey right here. I got Gaston on my chest. They’re everywhere, man,’ Phil said.
