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 determiner.

  2. 2. Starting letter +

    It begins with F.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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

  4. 4. Word ending +

    It means comparative degree of few; a smaller number..

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 FEWER. It's a determiner that means comparative degree of few; a smaller number.. Example: "Fewer women wear hats these days." Forms: fewest.

Repeated Letters

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