WATCH: Even with only one letter missing, this 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant couldn't solve the puzzle – Mar 22, 2017

Fans of theatre, avert your eyes.

The board read “A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE” and Kevin asked for a “K,” assuming the word was “naked.” Of course, his guess was incorrect, and fellow contestant Lisa swooped in for the steal, easily solving the puzzle.

To add insult to injury, this week’s Wheel theme is “Southern Charm,” so there was another clue to the puzzle that should have tipped Kevin off, since playwright Tennessee Williams was born in Mississippi.

Host Pat Sajak didn’t pass up an opportunity to use it as fodder for his signature comedy, either.

Twitter (predictably) reacted to the fail, roasting poor Kevin for his miss.
