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.

    The word has five letters and works as a noun.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

    There are two vowels, in the third and fourth positions.

  4. 4. Word ending +
