The left-to-right reveal of puzzle answers on Wheel Of Fortune is deliberately designed to build suspense and drama. Revealing clues from the beginning to end, word by word, pulls the viewers along and ramps up anticipation with each new letter. Guessing what's coming next, seeing if the contestants will figure it out, feeling the momentum build with each position revealed, culminates in either triumph or heartbreak by the time the full solution is finally exposed. These tiny increments of progress keep audiences engaged and on the edge of their seats. The reveal is the story, and its order crafts that story beat by beat.
