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 adjective.

  2. 2. Starting letter +

    It begins with N.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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

  4. 4. Word ending +

    It means In need; poor..

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 NEEDY. It's a adjective that means In need; poor.. Example: "Needy people want to give too, but have few material goods to offer." Forms: needier, neediest.

Repeated Letters

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