Caitlin Burke just had a “good feeling” about her “Wheel of Fortune” puzzle.
The 26-year-old game show contestant has become the latest viral video sensation, thanks to her remarkable solve of a seven-word puzzle on the long-running game show – with just one letter showing.
Caitlin left host Pat Sajak dumbfounded and at a loss for words when she asked to solve the puzzle, with only an “L” revealed on the board. But when she guessed “I’ve Got A Good Feeling About This” – lo and behold, she was correct.
So how did she do it?
“Just years of practice and watching,” Caitlin told Harry Smith on CBS’ “Early Show” on Tuesday morning. “I don’t know, you just try to instantly think of — instead of getting so caught up on the letters on the board, rather than thinking this is a phrase. Seven letters, that’s a phrase. How many of those do you know that start with ‘I.’ I’ve had the time of my life.”
The leap of faith guess earned the eager game show fan a Caribbean vacation, worth about $6,500.
