Helpful link for a daily Spelling Bee solver

Answer:

HINTS

Hint:

Think of what the New York Times Spelling Bee offers to nudge players toward the right letters—it’s not the answer itself, but a push in the right direction.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the idea of a "link" as both a connection and a helpful resource. In the New York Times Spelling Bee puzzle, players often rely on "hints" (like revealed letters or definitions) to solve the daily challenge. The word "link" subtly nods to the answer being something that aids or connects the solver to the solution—hence "HINTS." It’s a straightforward but clever way to describe a tool that guides players.
