What does REVEAL mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make something known that was hidden, or to allow it to be seen.
To reveal something is to lift a cover, literally or figuratively. A magician can reveal the card, a letter can reveal a secret, and a test can reveal a fault no one expected. The word goes back to a Latin verb meaning to draw back a veil, and religious writing still uses it for truths disclosed by God. As a noun, a reveal is also the finishing moment when a surprise is shown to viewers, and in building it is the side face of a window or door opening.
