It was wrong in the best way.
It’s hard to say which is more entertaining—epic game show wins…or hilarious game show fails. Wheel of Fortune has provided us plenty of both over the years, and this time, it delivered a funny defeat that just so happened to be holiday themed.
During the beloved game show’s Dec. 17 episode, a contestant named Phil McManus hailing from Palmer, Massachusetts, attempted to solve a puzzle in “Same Letter” category, with the board reading “Chocolate Chestnuts & Chi_ne_s.”

What are the subtle signs that someone is a genuinely good person? A recent Reddit thread on r/AskReddit posed this thought-provoking question, and the responses offer a treasure trove of small but powerful insights into human goodness.

So when a 26-year-old influencer from New York recently made a video addressing why she only wears certain types of clothes to workout, I thought: Oh boy, here we go again.
