Nothing on this page reveals the answer until you ask for it.

Today's hints go live at 6:00 AM ET.

Until then, you're looking at the hints for August 11, 2026.

The same daily help people look up from the Mashable and Forbes roundups, in a format that never spoils a group you have not asked about: one nudge per group in the open, then the group name, then the four words, each behind its own reveal.

Came here from one of those searches specifically? We also have a page framed for a Mashable search and one framed for a Forbes search, same daily hints, neither of us affiliated with either publisher.

The four groups, yellow to purple

Groups are ordered easiest to hardest. Take the nudge first; open more only if you need it.

WORDS IN AN AUCTIONEER'S CHANT

Reveal the four words

HOMOPHONES OF FACIAL FEATURES

Reveal the four words
  • AYE
  • HARE
  • KNOWS
  • TUNG

The other six puzzles today

Same promise on every one of them: labelled clues in the open, the answer behind a reveal you have to open on purpose.
