Yeah I'd Like To Solve The Puzzle, also known as He He He, Yup, refers to a series of exploitable video memes in which a man dressed in a Yankees hat and black vest appears on Wheel Of Fortune saying, "Yeah, I'd like to solve the puzzle." The videos are typically edited to show a parody-style question and answer to the puzzle by altering the final phrase. The video format originated from a Vine by Alphonso McAuley, originally titled, "Jay Z on Wheel Of Fortune," before migrating to YouTube and going viral on TikTok in December 2022.
