Puzzle-solving and Kansas City Chiefs football fandom collided on Friday evening.
If you’re a fan of the Chiefs and also happen to watch “Wheel of Fortune” on NBC, you were in for a treat. Have you ever wondered what you get when you cross Pat Sajak with Patrick Mahomes? The answer: An extremely awesome “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle that reminds you of something you don’t ever want to forget.
A lucky contestant got the chance to answer a puzzle early on in the episode and the category for the puzzle was “Headline.” Can you guess what the headline might be about? Maybe something to do with the Chiefs being Super Bowl champions for the first time in 50 years? Check it out:

The contestant who solved the puzzle won $8,650 in cash and trip to Panama worth $7,066. She was also the winner of the episode with $44,706 total in cash and prizes. She even took the $1 million dollar wedge to the bonus round. Unfortunately, she didn’t complete the bonus puzzle or pull the $1 million. She’s still the big winner of our hearts, though, because she got a chance to answer this wonderful puzzle.
