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 +

    It begins with W.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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

  4. 4. Word ending +

    It means simple past and past participle of wring.

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 WRUNG. It's a verb that means simple past and past participle of wring. Example: "I wrung out my wet jeans and hung them out to dry."

Repeated Letters
