Wheel of Fortune viewers had great fun suggesting risqué answers for this unfinished puzzle

The answer, as it turns out, was significantly more boring than the vast majority of suggestions.

Wheel of Fortune may be nearly as old as time itself, but it still has the capacity to deliver entertainment to viewers, often by completely unintentional means. Earlier this year, for example, a contestant was responsible for surely one of the greatest cock-ups in gameshow history, while fictitious though it might be, everyone remembers Stan Marsh’s rather unfortunate Wheel of Fortune faux pas in South Park. This week, viewers to the show had reason for a childish giggle when a contestant had narrowed down a three word puzzle to leave themselves with just four letters to solve. https://twitter.com/twitersgoodboy/status/862086751480885248 The positioning of the existing letters, however, quite easily lent itself to a number of suggestions that will never see the light of day on Wheel of Fortune as long as it continues to be broadcast before the watershed. https://twitter.com/e_tolley/status/862122031957061633 https://twitter.com/CarlyGroff/status/862150235128299520 https://twitter.com/CRuDeBuDDha/status/862332904692744194 https://twitter.com/ericjkrause/status/862312677003018242 https://twitter.com/aloysiuscc/status/862121177837432834 https://twitter.com/lunis/status/862098326883315714 https://twitter.com/Graeme_Orr/status/862260635668586498 https://twitter.com/LaudinumGamer/status/862276382449168384 The actual answer? ‘Back at work’. Well, of course it was, you filthy animals.
