A JEOPARDY! contestant has revealed a hidden message that viewers can spot in a recent episode.
On December 29th, Jeopardy! champ Ray LaLonde faced off against Rachel Cohen, a consultant from Denver, Colorado, and Emily Kawaler, a bioinformatician from New York.
Emily shared an inside tidbit from the game show in her "postmortem thread" on Twitter.
During the installment, Ray mistakenly answered the Daily Double question when he should have said: "Who is Henry David Thoreau?"
At that moment, Emily had the lead with $200 against Ray and Rachel, who both had a balance of zero dollars.
The bioinformatician had a smile on her face and seemed to have said something as her mic was silenced.

Emily tweeted: "If you look closely (please don't) after Ray misses the first DD, you can see me whisper: 'Hey, I'm winning!' and immediately realize that I had said my inside words on the outside."
The lead flipped between Ray and Emily as she went into Final Jeopardy! ahead at $14,200,
Unfortunately for her, Ray secured his 11th straight win as he enjoyed his place as the second super-champion of season 39.
Emily concluded: "This was one of the more excruciating moments of my life (Sorry to my endodontist. You still have the top few spots).

"But oh well. It was a great game."
"I really enjoyed playing, and the other two competitors were amazing. Either one would have really earned that win!" she added.
KEN'S TENURE
Ken Jennings, 48, served as host of the show until January- his co-star, Mayim Bialik, 47, has been hosting the spinoff Celebrity Jeopardy! but will take over for the former champ in 2023.
Over the summer, Ken and Mayim were officially announced as the permanent replacements for the late Alex Trebek, who had hosted the quiz show since 1984.
ALEX'S ACHIEVEMENT
During the final episode of 2022, Ken shared a personal story about Alex with the audience.
Ken mentioned current champ Ray once interviewed the game show legend when Alex was on his way to Ottawa to receive the Order of Canada.
Ray said the Order was "sort of a Canadian knighthood," and honored those who represent Canada the best.
Jeopardy! shared an image of Alex- alongside his wife Jean- wearing the red and white medal he received for the honor.

"That was one of the achievements he felt proudest of, I understand," Ken revealed.
"Nothing in his life ever made him as excited as the Order of Canada."
