Plenty of Wheel of Fortune contestants have gotten puzzles wrong (remember the NSFW answer?) on the long-running game show, but this one might take the cake.
During Monday night’s episode, contestant Will got his chance to solve a puzzle on the board for a phrase.
The real answer was “Give yourself a round of applause,” but Will found something even more wonderful in the puzzle.
His answer was, “Treat yourself a round of sausage.”

Of course, Will got the “wrong” buzzer as fellow contestant Kitina solved it an answer later. New show host Ryan Seacrest looked a bit bewildered by Will’s answer at first, but he eventually caved to how hilarious it was.
“Although, Will, I kind of like yours better,” Seacrest told Will, who at least looked pleased with himself for giving such an epic solution to the puzzle. “That sounds better than just clapping right now.”
Will didn’t solve the puzzle, but he won America’s laughter in the process.
I've always been jealous of any of y'all who are able to TREAT YOURSELF A ROUND OF SAUSAGE almost every day. #WheelofFortune 😜 pic.twitter.com/ThjAPlX46u
