As the clock counted down, Conner struggled to identify the final word. When time expired, the correct answer was revealed as “I DID MY HOMEWORK.” The missed solution cost him a potential $40,000 bonus prize.Afterward, Conner took the disappointment in stride and joked about the answer. “Aw, dude, I don’t do homework anymore. I’m not in school now,” he said, offering a lighthearted explanation for why the phrase did not immediately come to mind.
However, many viewers focused less on Conner’s performance and more on the puzzle itself. Some fans argued that “I DID MY HOMEWORK” did not qualify as a traditional phrase and instead sounded like an ordinary sentence.One viewer commented that it took some time to solve but insisted that “I did my homework” was not really a phrase. Another agreed, describing it as simply “a normal sentence.” Other viewers disagreed, saying they recognized the answer quickly and believed the puzzle was reasonably easy.
The disagreement centered on the Bonus Round category. Critics felt that placing an everyday sentence under “Phrase” made the puzzle misleading, while others believed Conner simply had bad luck and needed a few more letters to make the answer obvious.Despite missing the $40,000 bonus, Conner still left the show with an impressive $19,080 in cash and prizes. The outcome, however, sparked a lively online debate about whether “I DID MY HOMEWORK” was a fair Bonus Round puzzle and whether the category accurately described the answer.
