A “Wheel of Fortune” contestant has taken the internet by storm after a hilariously wrong guess on Monday’s episode that quickly went viral.

The puzzle in question read: “___E OURSE_F A ROUN OF A___AUSE,” with just a few letters missing. The correct answer was “Give yourself a round of applause.” But when contestant Will Jordan took his turn, he confidently guessed: “Treat yourself a round of sausage.” As anyone watching can imagine, his answer was far from correct — and the moment quickly became internet gold.

The clip of Jordan’s comical “missolve” has now been viewed over half a million times on X (formerly Twitter), leaving viewers in stitches. Fellow contestant Kitina Thomas correctly solved the puzzle shortly after, but the real fun came when host Ryan Seacrest couldn’t resist joining in on the joke.

“Will, I kind of like yours better,” Seacrest said. “That sounds better than just clapping right now.” His lighthearted commentary only added to the hilarity of the moment.

After the slip-up, Maggie Sajak, daughter of the show’s legendary former host Pat Sajak, caught up with Jordan to get his thoughts on the mishap. The retired Coast Guard veteran, now working as a school resource officer in Connecticut, humbly explained his gaffe.

“I tell you, when the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White … I just went blank,” Jordan acknowledged. “But if your dad, in retirement, is watching this show, maybe cracks a beer and gets a laugh, it was worth it.”

Maggie assured Jordan that her dad would definitely tune in, and Seacrest joined in with a special message for Jordan’s family, holding up a cue card.

“Playing ‘Wheel of Fortune’ live is a whole different ball game than playing at home, but Will was a great sport about his missolve!” the show captioned the viral post.

Jordan’s lighthearted mistake has not only entertained fans but also sparked a charitable cause. As the holiday season approaches, he is using his newfound fame to encourage donations to the Rocky Hill Human Services Food Bank. The police department, where Jordan serves as a school resource officer, shared on social media that the viral moment has helped bring attention to the food bank’s important work.

Jordan himself joked that his mistake would likely lead to “sausages in my locker and police car,” adding, “We’ll try and have some fun with it.”

In a delicious twist, sausage company Johnsonville has even jumped on the “round of sausage” bandwagon. They are offering a free Johnsonville product to customers who share stories of kind acts they’ve done or witnessed, using the hashtag #KeepTheInternetJuicy.

Joy Behar has sparked outrage after making a sexist remark about Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, suggesting that her looks were the reason behind her rise to the position.

On The View, Behar remarked, “She’s probably been put in there because, according to Donald Trump, she’s a 10.” This comment immediately drew backlash, with many critics accusing Behar of reducing Leavitt’s career achievements to superficiality rather than acknowledging her qualifications.

Former Trump administration official Alyssa Farah Griffin quickly defended Leavitt, pointing out that this was not her first job, just her first press briefing. Farah took issue with Behar’s dismissive comment, highlighting that Leavitt had worked hard to reach this point, dismissing the notion that she owed her position to her appearance.

Whoopi Goldberg also weighed in, criticizing Leavitt’s first press conference. Goldberg took particular offense to Leavitt’s comments about eliminating funding for transgender issues and “wokeness” in federal agencies. According to Goldberg, without “wokeness,” Leavitt wouldn’t have the opportunities she has today. Goldberg argued that women’s struggles for equality and civil rights created the space for women like Leavitt to succeed.

Goldberg went further, saying, “Women were not invited to that table,” adding that past struggles had paved the way for the opportunities Leavitt now enjoys. She contended that Leavitt’s remarks on “wokeness” showed a lack of understanding of the concept’s importance in breaking down societal barriers for marginalized groups.

While Leavitt’s comments on media trust and “wokeness” ruffled feathers, they also earned praise from many on social media. Supporters argued that she was simply expressing her beliefs and standing up for conservative values. One commenter pointed out that, despite Behar’s attacks, Leavitt had earned the role through hard work and not just her looks.

Leavitt made headlines on Tuesday when she introduced a “new media” section in the White House press pool. She criticized traditional media outlets for their portrayal of President Trump, and promised to hold them accountable for any misinformation. As part of the new approach, two seats normally reserved for White House staff will now be designated for new media outlets, giving them the chance to ask the first questions.

Leavitt also announced that 440 press credentials, which were revoked by the Biden administration, would be reinstated under the Trump 2.0 administration. This move received praise for its transparency, but the hosts of The View expressed skepticism. Sunny Hostin doubted that the “new media” reporters would be qualified to participate, and Goldberg argued that the new approach could lead to misinformation.

A man who was clinically dead for 45 minutes shocked doctors when his heart suddenly started beating again—bringing with him an extraordinary story of the afterlife.

Brian Miller, a 41-year-old from Ohio, suffered a massive heart attack and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. But against all odds, his heart inexplicably restarted nearly an hour later. While medical professionals were stunned by his recovery, Miller himself was more focused on what he experienced while he was “gone.”

A Journey to the Afterlife?

During the time his heart had stopped, Miller recalls what he describes as a peaceful and vivid journey. He told in an interview that he found himself walking along a beautiful pathway filled with vibrant flowers. Then, he encountered someone unexpected—his mother-in-law, who had recently passed away.

“She grabbed my arm and told me, ‘It’s not your time,’” Miller recalled. He says the moment was overwhelmingly real and deeply emotional. He also claimed to have seen another deceased relative before waking up back in his hospital bed.

Despite being deprived of oxygen for 45 minutes—a situation that often results in severe brain damage—doctors were stunned to find Miller had no neurological impairments. His remarkable survival has reignited discussions about near-death experiences (NDEs) and what they could mean.

Science Weighs In on Near-Death Experiences

Miller’s story is far from unique. Researchers have been studying NDEs for years, searching for answers about what happens to the brain at the edge of life.

Dr. Steven Laureys, a Belgian neuroscientist leading the Coma Science Group in Liege, has been at the forefront of studying near-death experiences. His research suggests that people who undergo NDEs often experience profound transformations—many lose their fear of death and describe the event as the most significant moment of their lives.

A new viral image is putting people’s observation skills to the test, as a perfectly camouflaged copperhead snake blends seamlessly into a wooded setting. Shared in the FindTheSniper thread, the photo has social media users squinting and zooming in, struggling to find the elusive reptile.

The original poster, who stumbled upon the snake while doing yard work, shared the image with a simple challenge: “Find the copperhead.” The user added that after spotting the snake, they carefully relocated it back into the woods.

“PSA: Don’t kill copperheads, they’re just vibing,” the post read. “Carefully relocate them; they appreciate not being turned into ‘snake bites.'”

Copperheads: Masters of Disguise

Copperheads are a species of venomous snake native to North America, commonly found in forested areas. Their reddish-brown markings create the perfect camouflage against fallen leaves and earthy terrain, making them difficult to detect—even when they’re right in front of you.

The photo quickly gained attention as users attempted to spot the hidden snake. Many admitted they were completely stumped, with one person commenting, “Oh! There it—nope. Oh! It’s th—nope. Honestly, it’s crazy how effective camouflage is.”

Another user, more experienced in spotting these sneaky serpents, finally pointed out the snake’s location: “Bottom left-hand corner. But you gotta keep your eyes sharp! He’s almost completely hidden!”

For those still struggling, others chimed in with helpful advice, noting that zooming in on the image makes it much easier to find the well-disguised reptile. “Thank you, ZOOM. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to spot the snake. My actual eyes; take note,” one user joked.

A Reminder to Be Cautious Outdoors

While copperheads are venomous, they are not aggressive by nature. In most cases, they prefer to remain hidden and avoid confrontation. However, their natural ability to blend in with their surroundings makes it easy for unsuspecting hikers or homeowners to get too close without realizing it. Experts advise being mindful of your surroundings when walking through wooded areas, especially during warmer months when snakes are more active.

The viral image serves as both a fun challenge and a reminder of nature’s incredible adaptations. So, do you think you can find the hidden copperhead? Take a closer look—but be warned, it’s trickier than it seems!

Jennifer Love Hewitt is getting candid about the challenges of aging while being in the public eye, saying that no matter what she does, critics always have something to say.

The 9-1-1 actress, 44, recently sat down with Michael Rosenbaum on his Inside of You podcast, addressing recent backlash over her appearance after she debuted a darker hairstyle on social media.

“Aging in Hollywood is really tough,” Hewitt admitted. “It feels like you’re always being judged, and you can never get it right.”

Hewitt sparked a wave of online chatter when she posted a fresh-faced selfie from the salon, using a light filter to enhance the lighting. She said she didn’t think much of it—until the internet erupted with claims that she looked “unrecognizable.”

“I had just gotten my hair done, and I wasn’t wearing any makeup,” she explained. “So I threw on a simple filter because the lighting wasn’t great. I really didn’t think twice about it.”

Think you’ve got the sharp eyes and quick wit to crack a challenge that stumps most people? This viral brainteaser is putting internet users to the test. Somewhere in this crowded photo, a stealthy little cat is hiding—and you’ve got just 5 seconds to find it.

Sounds simple, right? Don’t be so sure. According to reports, only 2% of participants can locate the sneaky feline within the time limit. Are you ready to prove you’re among the best of the best?

Why This Puzzle Is More Than Just a Game

Puzzles like this aren’t just entertaining—they’re a fantastic workout for your brain. Spotting hidden objects in a busy image requires razor-sharp focus, quick decision-making, and an impressive attention to detail. It’s the kind of challenge that separates casual observers from true problem-solving pros.

An inverted American flag atop Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan rock formation caught visitors’ attention over the weekend, raising questions about its meaning. The sight, seen on Sunday, February 23, was no accident—it was a pointed statement from National Park Service employees protesting job cuts under the Trump administration.

A Symbol of Distress

According to U.S. Flag Code, the American flag should never be displayed upside down—except in cases of “dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.” Yosemite employees who raised the flag in this manner were sending a message about the current state of the National Park Service following significant staffing reductions.

The Job Cuts Impacting America’s Parks

A bizarre marine worm found in the icy waters near Antarctica is grabbing attention online—and it’s not hard to see why. With an oval-shaped body covered in shimmering golden bristles and a gaping, tooth-lined maw, this creature looks like a holiday ornament straight out of a horror movie.

Known as Eulagisca gigantea, the worm is part of the polychaete family, often called bristle worms due to their signature spiky exteriors. While it may have recently gone viral thanks to striking photos shared on social media, this unusual worm is a long-time resident of the Southern Ocean near Antarctica.

A Look at the Strange Predator

Measuring about 8 inches in length, Eulagisca gigantea has a distinctive “head” that is actually a retractable pharynx. When feeding, this section of its throat extends outward, revealing sharp teeth that hint at its predatory habits. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History notes that this throat extension can reach up to 2 inches, allowing the worm to scavenge or prey on other marine creatures.

Its bristles, which glow a metallic gold, may serve multiple purposes—swimming, defense, or crawling along the seafloor. However, much about this deep-sea species remains a mystery, as scientists have not extensively studied its biology or behavior since it was first identified in 1939, according to the World Register of Marine Species.
