A Wheel of Fortune contestant embarrassingly flubbed a Moana lyrics puzzle

Caroline Darney   For The Win

We're not here to say that Wheel of Fortune is easy. There are bright lights and sounds and that giant wheel. But sometimes, it really does seem easy. Such was the case on Tuesday night's episode as Nikol attempted to solve a 12-word puzzle that was missing just one (1!!) letter.

"SEE THE LINE WHERE THE S_Y MEETS THE SEA IT CALLS ME" read the nearly-finished puzzle. The puzzle -- with the finished word SKY -- is a lyric from the mega-popular song, "How Far I'll Go" from the Disney hit, Moana. Nikol, with no real options, opted to try and solve. Her confusion was all over her face as she blanked before guessing the letter O, as in "THE SOY MEETS THE SEA."

Yikes.

Almost instantly she realized her gaffe, putting her hands to her face and letting out an "Oh my God" as host Ryan Seacrest engaged in a full-body cringe.

That's rough.
