The puzzle was made up of a 7-letter word and a 4-letter word, with the top word likely ending in “-ing,” and the second letter in the second word being an “A.” While the puzzle was almost impossible to guess, Marie tried her best and answered “Chasing Tail.”

She immediately knew the answer was wrong and started nervously giggling, meanwhile the audience was full on laughing. For a moment she left host Pat Sajak speechless, as he pantomimed zipping his mouth shut, locking it, and throwing away the key.

The correct answer was “Kicking Back.” Her incorrect cost her $45,000 but made her a “hero” in the eyes viewers, who took to Twitter to celebrate her incorrect response.

Considering Marie is a 911 operator, she is no stranger to being called a hero. But her husband of 6 years might take exception to the fact that she guessed “chasing tail” for the puzzle “What are you doing?”
