Genius ‘Wheel of Fortune’ contestant solved a puzzle with one letter and won $76,000

“Wheel of Fortune” contestant Robert Santoli recently crushed his competitors and won puzzle after puzzle to a $76,000 prize (including two cruises).

He managed to solve a puzzle early on with only one letter, which is exceedingly rare in the game show. Knowing only the “D” at the end and an ampersand between two words, he correctly guessed “Port & Starboard.”

Santoli told TapInto.net that he actually memorized a set of potential clues before playing, knowing the show would have a nautical theme. And of course, some luck was involved.
