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 verb.

  2. 2. Starting letter +

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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

  4. 4. Word ending +

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.

Example: "1746, attributed to Jonathan Swift, "A Love Poem form a Physician to his Mistress," http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14353/pg14353-images.htmlWhen I an amorous kiss design'd,I belch'd a hurricane of wind."
