 - For trivia-based answers or difficult vocabulary, the hint should provide the solver with all or some of the answer. The goal is to minimize the chance that the solver who has requested the hint gains no information from the hint. For this reason, names should often be given lexical "problem solving" clues that feature hidden words, anagrams, or similar.

-For example, from the crossword that ran on Monday, June 22 by [Rebecca Goldstein](https://www.puzzmo.com/user/xwc/rebecculous), the answer `THRONE ROOMS` gets the clue `Reception areas?`, which is a tricky misdirect that evokes cell phone usage, not castles' ceremonial halls.

 Elsewhere in the same puzzle, Rebecca's `LIN` clue is "`Moana" songwriter ___-Manuel Miranda`. Matthew's hint is `Name hidden in the phrase "artificial intelligence"`, which avoids the need to know this particular celebrity by instead presenting a lexical problem for the solver to figure out.

 We settled on this after two rounds of playtesting with volunteers. Each round of testing included two weeks of puzzles, and we encouraged solvers to give feedback only after regularly playing for a week. The first round's mechanics were very similar to what you see today, and we got really exciting feedback about solvers who were playing with newly-possible strategies.
 
-In our second round of playtesting, we dropped the cache and used a shorter cooldown after every hint usage. We found this to be overall less enjoyable for our playtesters, so we brought the cache back. We're very grateful to our volunteers who provided such insightful feedback over the course of playtesting: if this was you, thank you so much!
