'Wheel of Fortune' viewers were doubled over in laughter during Thursday night's episode after one of its puzzles revealed a risqué message.

Contestant Adam Goodell scored $2,450 and advanced to the bonus round for solving the puzzle, 'Brushing up on my Italian sausage' — a phrase that got much more attention than the player who guessed it.

Those watching at home immediately took to Twitter to express their disbelief over the solved puzzle, which was dubbed 'kinky' and 'hilarious.'

'Yeah, I don't know about this one #wheeloffortune #ohvannapickmealetter,' one user wrote, sharing a photo of his television screen with the proof.

Others found it hard to believe the family-friendly game show let it slide.

'Bruh what intern must made the puzzle 'brushing up on my Italian sausage' I'm dead,' one social media user said.

Another tweeted: 'Brushing up on my Italian sausage' may be one of the most lurid-sounding #WheelofFortune puzzles ever.'

'So apparently the solution to a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune yesterday was 'Brushing Up On My Italian Sausage'...and I think the jokes write themselves,' another user wrote with several laughing face emojis.

'That doesn't sound right,' pointed out another.

Host Pat Sajak even joined in on the laughter. After the scandalous puzzle was revealed, he provided a smirk and quickly said, 'Uh...it's a grilling expression.'

This is far from the first time the popular game show has drawn giggles from the viewership. Just last month the audience was captivated after one contestant's guess during the game's Bonus Round had the crowd erupting in laughter.

Contestant Marie Leo was tasked with solving, '-----NG -A--' and in a matter of seconds she blurted out, 'Chasing Tail.'

Realizing her flub, the contestant immediately said, 'No,' before her time ran out. The answer was revealed to be 'Kicking Back.'

One of the most successful game shows ever made, Wheel of Fortune is a very popular TV program that catapulted Vanna White to stardom as one of the most recognizable TV celebrities. For those who has never seen the show, WOF is a language game that requires both luck and skill. The object is to solve a 'hangman'-like mystery puzzle. Three contestants compete, taking turns spinning a huge wheel divided into sections containing various dollar amounts, as well as spaces such as 'BANKRUPT', 'LOSE A TURN' and 'FREE SPIN'. If a contestant span a dollar amount, he/she could then guess a consonant to receive that dollar amount for every time that consonant appears in the puzzle. An incorrect guess or spinning the wheel to one of the penalty spaces means control goes to the next contestant. At any time during a player's turn, they can elect to spin the wheel; ask to 'buy a vowel' of their choice, in which case $250 is deducted from their score; or solve the puzzzle. The player with the most winnings at the end of the show is pronounced the champion and gets to play a bonus puzzle, which he/she had 15 seconds to solve after guessing five consonants and one vowel to be uncovered.

Softie, which later became GameTek, obtained an exclusive license to produce computer version of this popular gameshow, on the heels of getting a Jeopardy! license. The game milked the license relentlessly, releasing approximately one WOF PC game each year between 1987 and 1994. New features were added as technologies advanced, from CGA to VGA and digitized voices of Vanna White in the 1991 Deluxe Edition. Each new version features more questions than the last, although they disappointingly border on the easy side and tend to be from only a few categories (e.g. people's names, common nouns). Still, fans of the TV show will definitely enjoy these computer releases which are quite faithful to the originals. Don't expect a tough challenge, but do expect Vanna White's characteristic smile and flipping of white cards :)
