But Conner could not solve the final word before time ran out. The answer was eventually revealed as “I DID MY HOMEWORK,” costing him a possible additional $40,000 prize.
Afterward, Conner joked that homework was no longer something he thought about because he was not in school anymore. Viewers, however, quickly began debating whether the puzzle itself was fair.
Some fans argued that “I did my homework” is simply a normal sentence rather than a true “phrase,” while others thought the answer was easy enough. Despite missing the bonus, Conner still walked away with $19,080.
