With only four letters, Jessie Rebhan, an elementary school teacher from Miami, Florida guessed the final bonus puzzle of the game. The shows' episode has amassed more than 400,000 views on YouTube.

Rebhan chose the “What Are You Doing?” category as a topic for the final bonus round. Looking at the given word problem on the screen, Sajak said the puzzle was quite difficult, with the contestant only given a few seconds to solve it.

UNDER TEN SECONDS

Rebhan was given a chance to choose her own letters on the screen. Rebhan was determined to win the game.

The phrase had 13 letters, and its arrangement was _ _ _ _ N _ / _ / _ _ _ CER. She thought deeply and was later convinced that the phrase involved the word “juicer.”

"Something a juicer, uhm… buying a juicer?" she said. Under ten seconds, she eventually got it right and smooth!

CASH PRIZE

Rebhan got a total of $52, 328 in cash prize, after she snagged the final bonus round worth $37,000. She also won a trip to Barbados, aside from the cash prize.

The long-time TV game show host was amazed at Rebhan's quick thinking skills. The category was a bit difficult to guess as none of the past contestants of the show got the correct answer that fast.

Just as Sajak was proud of Rebhan's win, he is also a proud father of two children.
