        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Wheel of Fortune” fans were left shocked after a contestant <strong>solved a puzzle almost immediately</strong> with only one letter on the board.</p><p>The popular game show has continued to air its catalog of previously filmed episodes as people settle in to watch while quarantining themselves amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. During a recent episode, one contestant surprised both his opponents and viewers at home with one of the fastest solves in the game’s history.</p><p>According to Yahoo Entertainment, contestant Mark Franco from Brentwood, Calif. competed on a Triple Toss-Up puzzle where he absolutely dominated the competition. The first letter had barely been revealed when Franco <a href="https://twitter.com/ItsKyleSeeley/status/1243324955049287682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fentertainment%2Fwheel-of-fortune-surprises-incredibly-quick-puzzle-solve" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hit his buzzer</a> with the exact right answer.</p><p>The puzzle at the time read: “_’_ &#8211; _ _ _ _ _ G &#8211; _ &#8211; _ _ _ _”</p><p>Franco buzzed in with the solve: “I’M HAVING A BALL” which instantly earned him points and the win.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">What in the hell is this sorcery <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WheelOfFortune?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WheelOfFortune</a> <strong>pic.twitter.com/eNPultxyxn</strong></p><p>&mdash; Kyle Seeley (@ItsKyleSeeley) <a href="https://twitter.com/ItsKyleSeeley/status/1243324955049287682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div><p>The outlet notes that he found himself apologizing for winning a puzzle earlier in the game after his opponent missed it on a technicality. However, host Pat Sajak insisted that he should “never apologize for winning.”</p><p>That&#8217;s when the contestant came back with a vengeance and shocked the audience. Despite the impressive puzzle solve, Franco wasn’t able to secure himself a spot to advance in the bonus round. However, he’s not walking away empty-handed. He left his time on “Wheel of Fortune” with a $7,000 trip to London and $2,000 in spending money.</p><p>Franco is not the first person to shock viewers by solving a puzzle with little-to-no clues in recent memory. In February, contestant Taya Somes was apparently in the zone during regulation play. About halfway through the game, she was <strong>given a 17-letter puzzle to solve</strong>, which she correctly did after finding zero vowels and just two consonants.</p><p>Before she agreed to venture a high-risk guess, the business owner and mother of five could only see: &#8220;_ &#8211; _ _ _ _ _ &#8211; _ _ _ _ &#8211; N _ &#8211; _ T_ _ _ .&#8221;</p><p>Undeterred, she surprised even her fellow contestants when she asked to solve the puzzle, correctly guessing: “A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
