Maureen was this close to a $40k win on Wheel of Fortune’s first show of 2026, but the bonus round tripped her up. She had the puzzle almost solved—just needed “A Wild Bronco”—but guessed “wrench” instead. Fans are losing it online, blaming the Year of the Horse hint and a rough bonus round streak. Not the start to the year anyone wanted, but at least Maureen walked away with $18k! #News #WheelOfFortune #GameShowFails
