Bulletin board sticker

Answer:

TACK

Hint:

Think of the small, sharp metal piece often used to pin notes or photos to a cork surface.

Explanation:

A "bulletin board sticker" isn’t about glue or tape—it’s hinting at what holds papers to the board. The word "sticker" here plays on its double meaning: something that sticks (like a pin) rather than an adhesive label. "Tack" is the small nail or pushpin you’d use, making it the straightforward answer. The clue relies on that slight misdirection to lead you away from literal stickers.
