A little "Help here!"?

SOS

Think of the three short signals you’d send if you were stranded and needed urgent rescue.

This clue plays on the idea of calling for assistance in a casual way. "A little 'Help here!'" hints at a short, urgent request, and "SOS" is the classic distress signal—three letters that stand out as a cry for help. The question mark suggests it’s a playful take, since "SOS" isn’t literal speech but fits the idea of a quick, recognizable call for aid. Think of it like texting "HELP!" in Morse code’s most famous shorthand.
