A new week of Wheel of Fortune kicked off on Monday, with a contestant giving one of the most hilarious wrong answers in recent memory.

Host Ryan Seacrest welcomed a trio of service members to celebrate Veterans Day on Monday, one of whom was Will Jordan from Wethersfield, Connecticut.

Will was on a roll with the first puzzle, filling up the six-word board in the category phrase, with most of the second and fourth words filled out when he decided to solve.

‘Treat yourself a round of sausage,’ Will said, as he immediately realized it was wrong, which Seacrest confirmed.

The next contestant, Kitina, immediately solved, delivering the correct response: ‘Give yourself a round of applause.’

Will, a Coast Guard veteran and 23-year police officer veteran who now works as a school resource officer, took the gaffe in stride, as Seacrest poked some fun at him.

After Kitina solved, Seacrest joked, ‘Although, Will, I kind of liked yours better. That sounds better than just clapping right now.’

Will didn’t earn any money in the game until the final puzzle, when he solved with the correct response of ‘Necklines and Hemlines’ to win a cool $8,000.

He finished in third place behind Kitina with $10,500 and the winner Chantel with $13,000, who moved on to the bonus round after winning $10,000 by solving all three puzzles in the Triple Toss-Up round.

Unfortunately Chantel couldn’t solve the final puzzle of ‘Online Auction,’ which would have won her $100,000.

After the match, Will proved to be a good sport about the mishap, speaking with Maggie Sajak about the ‘missolve.’ 

When Maggie – the daughter of iconic host Pat Sajak – asked how he was feeling in that moment, he said he just ‘blanked.’

‘Yeah, I’ll tell you, when the lights are on and you know the stars, Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White, it’s… I just went blank,’ Will admitted.

He added, though, ‘If your dad, in retirement, is watching the show, maybe cracks a beer and has a laugh, it’ll be worth it’

Seacrest then came over with a cue card from the show which he signed, as Will asked him to make it out to the Jordan family, which he did

‘Don’t worry about it, Will, even if they put sausages in your locker now,’ as they shared a snap together.

Maggie said she would, ‘be sure we tune in that night, that’s a promise,’ as Will recognized he’d get some playful ribbing about the flub back home.

‘I’m sure I’m gonna have sausages in my locker and police car when I get back, so we’ll try to have some fun with it,’ Will added.

‘This is really gonna be special,’ Will said as Ryan handed the cue card to Maggie for her to sign, as she offered some words of encouragement.
