This genius 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant solved a puzzle with one letter and won $76,000

Every once in a while, "Wheel of Fortune" gets a contestant who seems to know exactly what they're doing.

That was the case for Robert Santoli, who recently crushed his competitors and won puzzle after puzzle to a $76,000 prize (including two cruises).

He managed to solve a puzzle early on with only one letter, which is exceedingly rare in the game show.

Santoli told TapInto.net that he actually memorized a set of potential clues prior to playing, knowing it would have a nautical theme. And of course, some luck was involved.

Fans are saying he may be the greatest contestant in "Wheel of Fortune" history.
