These dramatic finishes are some of the most memorable moments from the show.
Fans regularly debate whether a contestant managed to solve a puzzle just before the buzzer or whether a particular answer was especially difficult. In April 2026, for example, viewers debated a Bonus Round ruling after a contestant was awarded a nearly $61,000 prize following a last-moment solve.
Another contestant, Daniel Thomas, famously solved “Guppies” with only seconds remaining and won a $40,000 bonus, bringing his total winnings to $71,950.
Could You Have Solved It?
That’s the fun part of watching from home.
You don’t have the pressure of the studio, the timer, or the possibility of winning thousands of dollars—but you still get the chance to test your puzzle-solving skills.
Sometimes the answer seems obvious once someone says it.
Before that moment, however, the same puzzle can look almost impossible.
