A “Wheel of Fortune” contestant shocked both host Pat Sajak and the viewing audience when she correctly solved a puzzle with almost no information.
During the popular game show’s Wednesday night airing, contestant Taya Somes was apparently in the zone during regulation play. About halfway through the game, she was given a 17-letter puzzle to solve, which she correctly did after finding zero vowels and just two consonants.
Before she agreed to venture a high-risk guess, the business owner and mother of five could only see: '_ - _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ - N _ - _ T_ _ _ .'

Undeterred, she surprised even her fellow contestants when she asked to solve the puzzle, correctly guessing: “A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER.”
Despite ranking among one of the quickest solves in recent memory for “Wheel of Fortune,” the impressive solve only earned her $650. However, she also walked away with an $8,000 trip to Peru, according to Yahoo Entertainment.
Sajak immediately came over to her and congratulated her, imitating the shocked face of fellow contestant Eliot Gaines, who was involved in an awkward moment with the host elsewhere in the broadcast. The people present weren’t the only ones surprised by the impressive in-game moment.
A couple of users took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the improbable guess, heaping praise on Somes for her mental gymnastics.
'Taya is like one of those idiot savants. I'm just an idiot,' one user wrote.
'Only 2 letters and Taya solved the puzzle real quick. That was one heck of a solve. I watch a lot of Wheel Of Fortune and I rarely make solves like that. At my Aunt's house I once solved a puzzle without any letters,' another user wrote.

Description[edit]
The card pictured is the Wheel Of Fortune card from the A. E. Waite tarot deck. A. E. Waite was a key figure in the development of the Tarot in line with the Hermetic magical-religious system which was also being developed at the time,[1] and this deck, as well as being in common use today, also forms the basis for a number of other modern tarot decks.[2]
According to A.E. Waite's Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune card carries several divinatory associations:[3]

The Wheel Of Fortune card, like other cards of the Major Arcana, varies widely in depiction between Tarot decks. The card has been modeled ever since the tarot's inception in the 15th century after the medieval concept of Rota Fortunae, the wheel of the goddess Fortuna. Images generally show a six- or eight-spoked wheel, often attended or crested by an individual (sometimes human; sometimes a Sphinx-like half-human) attired in an Egyptian-style headdress. In some decks, such as the AG Müller, the wheel is also attended by an individual wearing a blindfold; and often there are people sitting or riding on the wheel whilst others are shown falling from it.

The wheel is not always shown inscribed with any lettering. Where this is the case, the letters T-A-R-O (clockwise) or T-O-R-A (counter clockwise) can often be found aligned against four of the spokes, which can also be interpreted as R-O-T-A, the Latin word meaning 'wheel'. In some decks, such as the Waite, the wheel is also inscribed with additional alchemical symbols representing the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water (which are also said to be represented throughout the Tarot by the four 'suits' of Pentacles or Discs, Wands, Swords, and Cups respectively.[4] These emblems can also be seen on the Magician's table in the Magician card [Card I]).
On the Waite card shown, though not necessarily on others, there are also four winged creatures in the corners of the card, representing the symbols of the four Evangelists (The Lion, the Ox, the Man and the Eagle). These four Evangelists are also represented by the four fixedastrological signs: Leo, Taurus, Aquarius and Scorpio. In addition a representation of the god Anubis is seen rising with the wheel on the right side, while the snake-like Typhon descends on the left. On the wheel, alternating with the letters T-A-R-O are the Hebrew letters י-ה-ו-ה, usually transliterated as YHWH (Yahweh - Hebrew for God).
Interpretation[edit]
A common aspect to most interpretations of this card within a reading is to introduce an element of change in the querent's life, such change being in station, position or fortune: such as the rich becoming poor, or the poor becoming rich.[5][6][7]
Alternative decks[edit]
In the Mythic Tarot deck, the Wheel of Fortune is depicted by the Fates.
