A 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant has recently solved a puzzle with just one letter as a clue and that led him to set a record of winning high of more than 90,000 dollars.
Matt DeSanto was given the category "character" and the letter "e" at the end of the second word, to which he guessed the correct answer 'The Lone Ranger,' Stuff.co.nz reported.
The 39-year-old didn't get any more one-word guesses but he did go on to win a record high 91,892 dollars in the main game, surpassing the 2011 record of 70,000 dollars.
DeSanto also won a trip to Mississippi and Jamaica in rounds two and three.
But his inability to guess "wooden gavel" lost him the chance to win a 1million dollars prize.
