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 noun.

-
3. Vowel pattern +
There's only one vowel in the whole word, and it's in the second position.
