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 noun.

  2. 2. Starting letter +

    It begins with B.

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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

  4. 4. Word ending +

    It means A person who is intentionally physically or emotionally cruel to others, especially to those whom they perceive as being vulnerable or of less power or privilege..

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 BULLY. It's a noun that means A person who is intentionally physically or emotionally cruel to others, especially to those whom they perceive as being vulnerable or of less power or privilege.. Example: "A playground bully pushed a girl off the swing." Forms: bullies.

Repeated Letters

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