Did Pat Sajak mishearing a contestant’s Wheel of Fortune answer cost her $100,000?

We’ve got ourselves a new “did they say Laurel or Yanny” debate, courtesy of Pat Sajak and Wheel of Fortune.

Here’s the situation: In a final puzzle, a contestant ended up with __ST _IN_IN_ IT, with the clue of “What are you doing?”

At first, you’ll hear her guess something that sounds, to me, like “Just winning it.” But some viewers heard her say “Just winging it,” which was the correct answer.

She didn’t end up winning the prize of $100,000. And when she found out the answer, she didn’t argue that she had said “just winging it,” which tells me she said “just winning it.”

Not everyone agreed!
