Drew Rummel won $1,000 for the solve, but host Ryan Seacrest said he mispronounced the final word and missed the Harley-Davidson in the envelope.
- On Thursday, contestant Drew Rummel missed a $14,000 prize after mispronouncing the fully solved puzzle 'INFRARED & TRAFFIC LIGHT' as 'Infra & Traffic Light,' which Host Ryan Seacrest ruled incorrect.
- Rummel competed against Edwin Bates, from Belle Chase, Louisiana, and Lynda Randall, from Kansas City, Missouri, with the board displaying 'INFRARED & TRAFFI_ _I_ _ T' for the Same Name category.
- Viewers on Reddit expressed frustration, with one user commenting they were 'very pissed that Drew mispronounced INFRARED and wasted $14K,' as the mistake cost Rummel a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
- Fellow contestant Edwin Bates secured the two-day total of $95,700 after winning $3,000, and he will return on Friday for his next game while Rummel advanced to the Bonus Round.
