Tip: openers rich in common letters (like SLATE, CRANE, or ROATE) tend to narrow the field fastest. Today's word has no repeated letters, so every green and yellow tile is a distinct clue.

How these hints work

Hint one is deliberately vague — usually a theme or category. Hint two narrows things down to a context you'd recognise. Hint three points at the letters themselves: the first letter, an unusual pairing, or whether a letter repeats. Take only as many as you need and your streak stays intact.
