Every hint is hidden until you open it. They are ordered from gentle to strong, so you can stop as soon as the puzzle clicks.
Wordle
We start with how many vowels the word has and whether a letter repeats, then what kind of word it is and a dictionary meaning with the word hidden, then the first letter, the last letter and a letter pattern. The answer comes last.
Connections
First you get one word from each group, then the theme of each group from easiest to hardest, then the full groups.
Strands
We tell you how many words to find, how long the spangram is and which way it runs, then each theme word's length and first letter, then the words themselves.
Spelling Bee
The classic hint grid shows how many words start with each letter at each length, plus the two-letter starts and the pangram first letters. The full answer list is last, with pangrams in bold.
Pips
For each board we list the rule sections, then where one domino goes, then the solved board.
