It seems that there was no need for “Wheel of Fortune” fans to throw their remotes at their TVs last week.

On Tuesday’s episode, contestant Megan Carvale lost out on $40,000 during the bonus round when she failed to guess a two-word puzzle in the “Living Thing” category. Carvale had 10 seconds to solve the puzzle with five blank letters: “P_N_/_RC_ _D.”

A flustered Carvale eventually delivered the answer, “pony orchid.” And although a pony orchid sounds delightful, it does not exist. So it was a nay on Carvale earning some extra dough.

The correct answer was “pink orchid.”

Yet many fans were absolutely convinced Carvale said “pink” while she was nervously stammering for an answer — and took to social media to demand the show pony up.

Carvale put an end to the fiasco while speaking to speaking to “Good Morning America” Thursday.

“You know, I wish I said ‘pink’ because I would have been $40,000 richer,” Carvale told the television program. “But I said ‘something.’”

Closed-captioning for Carvale’s appearance shows the first thing out of her mouth while she was trying to solve the puzzle was “something orchid” — as if she were verbalizing her inner thoughts. The close-captioning never shows her use the word “pink” — a fact that seemed to annoy Carvale’s son.

“My son, the entire way home, because my 8-year-old son was in the audience ... [and] we live in Orange County ― the whole way home from LA, [he said], ‘Mom, I can’t believe you didn’t get pink. I can’t believe you didn’t get pink,’” Carvale recalled. “That word has already been haunting me and now all of America believes that I said it, but I didn’t.”
