A risqué message in one of Wheel of Fortune’s puzzles put fans in stitches.
Adam Goodell won $2,450 and advanced to the bonus round for solving the “Brushing up on my Italian sausage” puzzle, but viewers couldn’t stop wondering what the solution was.
One user posted a photo of their TV screen with the caption, “Yeah, I don’t know about this one #wheeloffortune #ohvannapickmealetter.”
Someone more said: “I found the ‘Brushing up on my Italian sausage’ puzzle on #WheelofFortune tonight hilarious for some reason!”
A third person said: “Bruh what intern must made the puzzle ‘brushing up on my Italian sausage’ I’m dead.”
“‘Brushing up on my Italian sausage’ may be one of the most lurid-sounding #WheelofFortune puzzles ever,” a different tweet stated.
The tweet was punctuated with multiple smiling face emojis. “So apparently the solution to a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune yesterday was ‘Brushing Up On My Italian Sausage’…and I think the jokes write themselves,” someone else remarked.
“That doesn’t sound right,” someone else commented.
After chuckling at the response, host Pat Sajak said, “Uh…it’s a grilling expression.”
