How our Wordle hints work
Hint 1 is about the idea
A feeling, a place, a thing you'd do — never a letter. Most people need only this one.
Hint 2 is about letters
The first letter, how many vowels, a double letter if there is one. Still plenty of room to think.
Hint 3 almost says it
A rhyme or a near-definition. If you're on your last guess, this is the one to open.
