Wheel of Fortune is getting ready to go XL for a milestone season.

“XL Week” (otherwise known as Extra Lucky and loaded with many prizes) will kick off the upcoming season in celebration of four decades of the game show.

Pat Sajak and Vanna White are on board to host, with the latter “working at a new LED screen puzzle board,” per the press release.

“XL Week” represents the roman numeral 40 for the 40th season and will feature extra prizes, puzzles, and hopes to be “XL (Extra Lucky)” for contestants and fans.

” During “XL Week,” not only will contestants have double the chances to win $1 Million with up to two full $1 Million wedges on the Wheel, but when they bring the $1 Million to the bonus round their chances are doubled because a second $1 Million envelope will be added to the Bonus Wheel. This week also introduces the “XL Wedge” with the chance to win an additional $40,000 when the player takes that to the bonus round for a minimum win of $80,000. Viewers will have big chances to win as well with a chance to win the Prize Puzzle featured in the round and the XL Bonus Round prize if it’s won,” the release notes.

Following “XL Week,” gameplay returns to normal, with the minimum amount that can be won at the Bonus Wheel bumped to $40,000 because, again, 40th season!

The fun kicks off on September 12, 2022, reportedly running through June 9, 2023.

Third time’s…. not the charm. 

Tuesday’s episode of Wheel of Fortune was brutal for all three contestants, but it was particularly hard on Laura. 

The category was phrase. 

The puzzle read “A_other feather _n y__r _a_.”

Laura made two three guesses: “Another feather in your hat,” followed by “another feather in your lap,” followed by “another feather in your map.”

Unfortunately, all three of them were wrong.

The wheel was rather unkind to the other two contestants as they kept hitting “bankrupt” and “lose a turn.”

After roughly 6 failed attempts, Thomas finally guessed the letter “c,” which revealed that the puzzle was “Another feather in your cap.”

You can watch the brutal video below: 

I'd like to solve… ANOTHER FEATHER IN EVERYTHING BUT YOUR CAP.

Thank you, Wheel, for not editing out 6 of these 8 lost turns in a row like you normally would.#WheelofFortune pic.twitter.com/7MByDsn32p

Naturally, Twitter was up in arms over the disastrous situation. 

One fan noted that they are in “utter disbelief.”

The woman on Wheel of Fortune got not one but TWO chances to solve this. First time, she said “…in your LAP.” Second time, she said “MAP.”

Another noted: “What a tremendous disappointment these players have been. They don’t get another feather in their laps, maps or hats!”

Another fan couldn’t get over the fact that she got it wrong “three times.”

Someone else called it the “greatest moment in TV history.”

One Twitter user said the “whole world was” yelling the correct answer at their screen.

It was even worse when you realized that the “h and t were used.”

#WheelOfFortune Omg. I just lost a ton of brain cells trying to watch Laura try to solve that puzzle. ‘Another Feather In Your _a_’
She said lap, map and hat (even though the h and t were used). pic.twitter.com/ANELkZEFtb

But that wasn’t the only viral moment of the night. 

In another puzzle, Thomas guessed that the phrase was “Barking Hotdogs,” which set Twitter off completely.
