The Hints, in Order

Each hint below adds one piece of information without giving away the rest — open them one at a time and stop as soon as you've got enough to make a confident guess.

  1. 1. Letter count +

    The word has five letters and works as a interjection.

  2. 2. Starting letter +

    It begins with H.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

    There's only one vowel in the whole word, and it's in the second position.

  4. 4. Word ending +

    It means A sound, usually made with a closed mouth pouting, indicating annoyance, indignation, disapproval, doubt, or sighing..

Still stuck after all four? That usually means it's worth re-reading the tiles from your own last guess rather than reaching for a brand new word.

The Answer

The solution is HUMPH. It's a interjection that means A sound, usually made with a closed mouth pouting, indicating annoyance, indignation, disapproval, doubt, or sighing.. Synonyms: humbug. Forms: hmph, hmpf, humf.

Repeated Letters

The letter 'H' is the one that appear more than once.
