A Wheel of Fortune contestant has lost a hefty $10,000 due to a one-letter blunder that left fans utterly deflated.

Hannah nervously declared she wanted to solve a “Before and After” puzzle on Friday night, but her answer was not exactly on the money.

The game show contestant had earlier revealed she just recently moved out of her parents’ house.

She donned a bright pink blazer, and her future looked bright. She had control over the puzzle, which was nearing completion.

After buying a vowel, Hannah nervously asked, “Can I solve it?” Pat Sajak said, “Sure!”

Then came the head-scratching guess, “Feeling Under the Feather Balloon?”

Her answer resulted in crickets from the audience, a stunned look from Vanna White and the sound of the incorrect buzzer.

“That’s not it,” Pat bluntly told her.

The next contestant, Carla, swept in and instantly solved the puzzle as “Feeling Under The Weather Balloon.”

Pat awarded Carla a sizable $10,000 (she went on to win the episode).

The longtime Wheel of Fortune host also tossed in a classic quip, “What a difference a letter makes.”

‘FEATHER BALLOON!?’

Fans were stunned and took to social media, baffled by the initial guess.

“Feeling under the feather balloon sounds kinky but also definitely the wrong answer,” one X user wrote.

“#Wheeloffortune I know this chick on wheel of fortune didn’t just say feather balloon instead of weather balloon bro who the f**k are they getting for these shows,” wrote another

“Y’all, there is something about “feather” and Wheel of Fortune puzzles,” wrote a third.

‘CEDAR RAPIDS….OHIO?

However, that wasn’t the only shocking guess of the night, as Carla also got backlash on social media for an earlier off-the-map effort.

She rang in on a toss-up puzzle under “On The Map,” which had its letter pop up automatically.

She guessed “Cedar Rapids, Ohio?” which earned a swift “No” from Pat.

The third contestant, Dave got it as “Cedar Rapids, Iowa” as Pat joked, “Yeah it’s the other Cedar Rapids.”

“On tonight’s @WheelofFortune the contestant guessed Cedar Rapids, Ohio for the puzzle,” another X user wrote.

“Sorry, #Iowa. Cedar Rapids, OHIO….unbelievable #WheelofFortune,” one more penned.
