Um, let me see... The difference is $1,000,000. Yes?
The puzzle was complete.
He clearly knew the answer because he knew all the letters.

RUBBISH.
perhaps they want a backlash to make up for sagging ratings??
Lemme axe you THIS,....WIll AL SHARPTON come to his aid!
There are rules! Live with it!
After watching the video, I don’t think he knew the name. He got the C from the word Mythological. Achilles tendon, Achilles heel ... most people have been exposed to the correct pronunciation of the name.
I sort of agree, I tend to lean “close enough” as is done all the time. But for 1mm, Maybe the standard has to be higher. Hell, I don’t know.
you must not be familiar with the rules... people lose now and then because of mispronounced words... you have to read what answer... just because he guessed all the correct letters does not mean he knows the answer... saying it correctly reveals whether or not he knows the answer...
I think they were right in their decision.
Kind of like using your word “puzzle” and pronouncing it as PUEZZLEE.
Every thing is in context.
I’ve seen Wheel of Fortune disqualify answers before when all the letters were filled in and the name mispronouced.
I’ve never seen it for a million dollars though.
Nevertheless, I am waiting for this name to come up.
“Krzyzewski”
