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 +

  3. 3. Vowel pattern +

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