Being on one is a totally different ball game. The lights, the cameras, the pressure. It&#8217;s enough to make anyone&#8217;s brain freeze up.

The 3-word puzzle read: \u201cTH _ _ RITI _ S _ GR _ E,\u201d and Tabari offered the answer, \u201cThe British Ogre.\u201d The guess surprised host Pat Sajak, who responded, &#8220;Uh, no.\u201d Tabari must have missed that there was a space between the R and the E in the puzzle, so ogre would have had to be spelled with 2 Rs.<\/p><p>She also probably wasn\u2019t aware that England isn\u2019t a place known for its ogres.
