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 N.

  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 The direction towards the pole to the left-hand side of someone facing east, specifically 0, or the direction towards the pole lying on the northern side of the invariable plane..

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.
