The puzzle on Tuesday night’s episode featured lyrics from Moana’s hit song “How Far I’ll Go.” Nikol needed just one correct letter to solve the puzzle: “See the line where the s-y meets the sea, it calls me.” Instead, she confidently chose “O,” turning the phrase into “See the line where the soy meets the sea.”

Host Ryan Seacrest quickly broke the news: “No, that’s not it,” as gasps and laughter erupted in the audience. The contestant placed her hand on her head in disbelief immediately she realized her mistake. It was comical. The clip has since been widely shared. Fans have even called it one of the funniest blunders in the show’s history. That’s definitely an interesting way to make history.
