What does the Hint button do?

hintNeed a hand finding a high-scoring word? Use the Hint button to reveal the first few letters of a high-scoring word on the board. Stumped? Press the Hint button again to reveal a different high-scoring word!

Hints reveal only the first few letters of the highest-scoring word, depending on the length of the word – usually three letters. If you see four letters light up when using the Hint button, you’ll know there’s a long word to be found!
