Secret

Occasionally, the word "secret" is used in a colloquial or dictionary sense, to mean ''any'' hidden area on a map (irrespective of type 9 sectors). For example, this may occur on [[Usenet groups|Usenet]] or in documentation written by [[1994 level|inexperienced PWAD authors]].
A secrets percentage of 0% means the player found none of the secrets, but it could also mean that the level has no secrets to find. Some [[source port]]s take the other approach and display 100% in the latter case, and others display the ratio of secrets found, as [[Heretic]] does, to eliminate ambiguity at the cost of immediately giving away the total number of secrets in the level. Many PWAD authors also design their levels to avoid this problem by marking an unavoidable sector in the level (usually either the starting sector or the sector surrounding the exit) as a secret in a level that would otherwise have no secrets.
