‘Wheel of Fortune' contestant flubs Disney lyrics puzzle — and immediately realizes her mistake
A 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant seemingly knew where she went wrong after incorrectly guessing the lyrics to a popular Disney song.
During the March 25 episode of 'Wheel of Fortune,' a contestant named Nikol incorrectly guessed the answer to a 12-word puzzle that had one missing letter left.
As seen in an Instagram clip posted by the 'Wheel of Fortune' account, the puzzle board read: 'See the line where the s_y meets the sea it calls me.' Nikol put her best foot forward, guessing, 'See the line where the ... soy meets the sea it calls me?'
The correct answer was 'where the sky meets the sea' from the hit song 'How Far I'll Go' in the Disney film 'Moana.' When the show's host Ryan Seacrest told Nikol her guess was incorrect, she reacted with disappointment before staring at the puzzle in bewilderment, seeming to realize the correct answer.
'Oh my God!' she exclaimed with a gasp, putting her hands on her face as Seacrest smirked.
'That scream you hear is Nikol's soul leaving her body ...' the 'Wheel of Fortune' account captioned the clip shared on March 25.
Some fans were in disbelief at Nikol's incorrect guess.
'She clearly doesn't have a young daughter who's obsessed with Moana,' one commenter wrote on the post.
'I have NO idea where this is from but c'mon man...Soy?' said another.
Other fans were quick to defend Nikol, whose mess-up moment under the bright lights felt relatable.
'Well it was cute. I'd probably forget my own name on WOF,' wrote a 'Wheel of Fortune' fan defending the contestant.
'Bahahhaha, but to be fair, I'd probably mess up epically too with all those lights and cameras on me,' another fan wrote in Nikol's defense.
Nikol's 'soy' puzzle mistake is one of many memorable incorrect guesses on the game show that are coincidentally food-related.
In a food-related mistake in December 2024, one contestant flopped on their puzzle guess, which read 'Chocolate Chestnuts and Chi_ne_s.' He guessed 'chickens' rather than 'chimneys.'
Later that same month, another incident occurred when a contestant guessed 'New York Cheesesteak' instead of 'New York Cheesecake,' prompting a commenter to call the attempt a 'new all-time horrible answer.'

James Argent performs at Megan McKenna's wedding after girlfriend's abuse post
James 'Arg' Argent was seen celebrating his former The Only Way Is Essex co-star Megan McKenna's wedding over the weekend, just hours after his ex put out a heartbreaking statement James 'Arg' Argent danced the night away with his The Only Way Is Essex co-stars, just hours after his ex issued a heartbreaking statement. Nicoline Artursson broke her silence on Friday evening for the first time since her ex admitted to domestic violence. The former Only Way Is Essex star admitted his crime at a court in Spain where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Argent pushed his now ex-girlfriend down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries. As Nicoline spoke of how the "fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside", just hours later, on the Saturday, Arg was at Megan's wedding, where she tied the knot with her husband Oliver. Taking to Instagram, Arg posted a video of him and Megan dancing at the nuptials. He wrote: "Congratulations to the beautiful Bride, My dear friend @meganmckenna who got married to the lovely @oliverjburke yesterday. "I can't tell you how much it meant to me, That you wanted me there on your special Wedding day. We danced together just like old times in Nu Bar Loughton when we were kids. He added: "We always supported each other in those TOWIE days & remained friends ever since. You've blossomed into an amazing woman. You're a fantastic mum & you're going to make a great wife! And you're a much better singer than me haha. Love ya." In her heartbreaking statement, Nicoline explained more about that night. She wrote: "I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured." She also added: "A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes. "Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are." *For confidential support, call the 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Freephone Helpline on 0808 2000 247 or visit If you or your family have lost a friend or family member through fatal domestic abuse, AAFDA (Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse) can offer specialist and expert support and advocacy.

I was wrong about the How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake
After a bit of turbulence at the start, the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon saw my heart take flight as it reached its barnstorming potential. Coming only 15 years after the original film adaptation of author Cressida Cowell's books, How to Train Your Dragon remains a hugely lucrative franchise thanks to three animated films and several TV shows. So, questions arise over the reasons for retreading creative territory – other than the obvious cash grab thanks to an already-present strong fanbase, just like Disney has relied on for its persistent remake strategy since 2010. Before watching this new version of How to Train Your Dragon, I was therefore unsurprisingly sceptical. But with original director Dean DeBlois back at the helm once more, his commitment to the characters and the cinematic world he helped build the first time around still shines through. Most importantly, DeBlois recognised the three things you simply couldn't do a live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon successfully without: Gerard Butler reprising his role as Viking leader Stoick the Vast, the return of composer John Powell with a subtly but perfectly revamped version of the franchise's stirring theme Test Drive, and a faithful but carefully tweaked Toothless, rendered to fit in more seamlessly with the real world. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video One of the treats of this film is seeing the real-life interpretations of the animation's original designs as all the dragons live and breathe on the screen in truly impressive ways. It does make them scarier though, especially for younger viewers, with the danger levels amped up. And that's even with hero dragon Toothless, who may continue to look cute but displays a little more edge over endearing features until closer to the end of the movie. We get to see Butler wrestle one of these dragons in the flesh in one of the film's most satisfyingly recreated moments. The Scotsman has aged nicely into the role in a piece of casting that goes beyond mere fan service and cements it as the one he will likely become most synonymous with. Newly-minted Harry Potter star Nick Frost also slots in easily to this world as blacksmith-cum-trainer Gobber the Belch, a mentor to Stoick's sensitive son Hiccup (Mason Thames) who enjoys sporting a vast array of deadly weapons in place of his missing arm. These Vikings all live on the small island of Berk, which suffers from a major dragon problem – and Hiccup, who wants nothing more than to help protect his village from that threat, is stuck on the sidelines after being deemed too weak for dragon-fighting training. But things get complicated when he accidentally captures a Night Fury – the rarest and most deadly breed of dragon – and cannot bring himself to kill it, just as Stoick finally relents and allows him to enrol in training. Thames make for a good Hiccup, seeming like a believable but sweet loser who you can root for as he struggles to go against the status quo and try to impress his gruff father. He shares good awkward chemistry with Butler, which is used to particularly great effect in a surprising story about his helmet's origins. However, the film does initially feel like it's missing some of the animation's zany energy, staying a little too faithful to the beats of that film at the expense of anything especially new or exciting. But as relationships develop – between both Hiccup and Toothless (that fish bonding ritual is truly gross here) and Hiccup and his crush Astrid (a kick-ass Nico Parker), who is frustrated over his attitude to the war they're inheriting from their parents – this How to Train Your Dragon starts to prove its worth. The film swoops up a gear as Hiccup begins learning dragon behaviour from Toothless, stealthily applying that knowledge to the deadly challenges thrust upon him as part of his training. And when it comes to Hiccup's first ride on Toothless, Test Drive's gorgeous melody makes you want to fly with them; you can really feel and hear that experience too with the thumping flap of dragon wings and the camerawork emphasising the power and disorientation that comes alongside that. It's exhilarating. More Trending As this How to Train Your Dragon reaches its peak, it reminded me how good Cowell's original story was for the animation, convincing me that his new version will work very well again for a new audience as well as its nostalgic original fans. It feels like everything is turned up to 11 – including both the frightening and emotional bits, so bring your tissues – showing that How to Train Your Dragon is still able to soar to new heights. How to Train Your Dragon is in UK cinemas from today. It releases in the US on Friday, June 13. Got a story?
