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. Letter count +
The word has five letters and works as a verb.
-
2. Starting letter +
It begins with E.
-
3. Vowel pattern +
There are two vowels, in the first and fourth positions.
-
4. Word ending +
It means To surpass someone or something; to be better or do better than someone or something..
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
Repeated Letters
The letter 'E' is the one that appear more than once.
