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 adjective.
2. Starting letter +

It begins with C.
3. Vowel pattern +

There's only one vowel in the whole word, and it's in the fourth position.
4. Word ending +

It means Of, or having to do with, the Internet; alternative form of cyber-..

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 CYBER. It's a adjective that means Of, or having to do with, the Internet; alternative form of cyber-.. Example: "I pointed out to him we have significant cyber capability and he knows it. He doesnt know exactly what it is, but its significant. And if in fact they violate these basic norms, we will respond cyberly. He knows. In a cyber way."
