Did she cheat?

If not, I want some of her luck!

Contestant Caitlin Burke somehow managed to solve a 27-letter, 7-word puzzle with only the letter "L" and an apostrophe to go on.

I saw that yesterday. I doubt she cheated. Sometimes you just get a mental image that fits.

If she cheated, then she did it poorly. You have to build up the points before solving.

Yeah, but she did win a Caribbean vacation worth $6,500.00 from it.

I saw the article on yahoo with the picture and I solved it in less than 10 seconds myself. I don't think she cheated. Some people are good with word puzzles and sometimes you just get it.

I don't watch the show anymore, but when I was a kid, I used to amaze my parents at how fast I would get the correct answer to the puzzles. I can see how someone can get it with that little to go on. I've done it many times... Though not on that puzzle... And I tried. lol

My kids are 11 and 8 and they like to watch it sometimes so I get a little practice. They get mad at me for solving it first and blurting out the answer!

Amazing how long that show has been on the air. Vanna still looks great too!
