For years, fans have wondered what is behind the puzzle board on Wheel of Fortune, and in a recent social media video, Pat and Maggie Sajak revealed the long-held secret. Standing behind the puzzle board, which is lined with LED screens, they explained that not much could be shown due to the confidential nature of the area.
However, they did share an amusing detail about the set. Pat pointed out a special table that holds a large supply of Fiji water bottles, humorously dubbed “Pat’s Water.” He joked that the stock of water would last only through the current season.

The reveal about the puzzle board wasn’t the only behind-the-scenes footage shared. Maggie, who has been an integral part of the show’s social media presence, recently gave fans a tour of the updated set after Ryan Seacrest took over as host. Despite the additions, including a new LED floor and logo, Maggie reassured fans that the beloved wheel and puzzle board were not changed.
Maggie’s tour also unveiled the new co-host entrance makeover and the fresh appearance of the Wheel of Fortune set. But the vintage wheel, a long-time prop on the set, stayed put to maintain the tradition that is still loved by fans.
