The hints, as published
- Where you meet itYou are far more likely to run into this word in a war film or an argument online than out in the countryside, which is where it started.
- The living oneIts oldest sense is a wading bird with a very long bill. It sits still in marshy ground, is almost impossible to see, and bursts away in a zigzag when you get too close.
- As a verbIt also means to shoot at somebody from a hidden position, and from there, to take a small mean swipe at somebody from the sidelines.
- Letter patternFive letters, no letter used twice, and the two vowels sit in the third and fifth places.
- SoundIt rhymes with gripe and ripe, and the first two letters make the sound a snake does.
