At first glance, he seemed close. The first and last words appeared clear, but the middle one stumped him. He guessed phrases like “My fun clothes” and even joked, “My funcles,” as the clock ran out. Unfortunately, the correct answer—revealed moments later—was “My Fancy Clothes.”
To make matters worse, Seacrest revealed what Wredberg had missed out on: a whopping $40,000 in bonus cash.
Despite the tough loss, Wredberg handled it like a pro, smiling as the audience cheered. But fans on social media weren’t as unanimous. The show’s YouTube comments section lit up with debate.
“That was notably harder than it looks,” one user wrote. “I wouldn’t have gotten ‘fancy’ without another letter.”
Others disagreed, insisting the puzzle was doable. “Two clueless players back-to-back in Bonus Land this week!” another fan commented. “These puzzles weren’t that difficult! Sure, nerves are a factor, but come on—they should’ve been solved!”
Whether it was bad luck or a missed opportunity, one thing is certain: this episode has fans talking.
