Dirty Minds

Three hints

It sounds dirty. It isn't.

Every riddle gives you three hints, each one more helpful than the last. The first shows when you open the word; the next two are free whenever you want them. They sound a little naughty on purpose. The answer is always a perfectly innocent, everyday word.

"When you pull me out I shrink in size." The answer is Ice.

Letter tiles

Spell it with the tiles.

Tap a tile to place it in the next slot, tap a slot to send it back. Shuffle the bank with a button or by shaking your phone, Clear the slots, or Skip to another word and come back to it later, exactly as you left it. A wrong guess just shakes the slots. No penalty, no timer.

The solve

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Wrong!

Solve it and all three hints are read back, so you see how innocent they were all along, with the halos you earned and a little wink at your imagination.

1. I
2. C
3. E

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Halos

A clean mind earns a halo.

Start with 10 halos and earn 3, 2 or 1 for solving on the first, second or third hint. Spend them to reveal a letter or clear the decoy tiles. Out of halos and out of hints? The answer is revealed for free. Nobody gets stuck, and halos are never sold.

• 3 on hint 1
• 2 on hint 2
• 1 on hint 3
• 2 Reveal a letter
• 3 Clear decoys
