Today's Hints

Use these hints when you are close to an answer but do not want the category name yet. Each clue points to meaning, situation, or tone. The goal is to help you notice the pattern yourself, not to remove the puzzle.

Daily Slang Connections

Look for four groups of four slang words or casual phrases. A group may share a feeling, a texting habit, a money meaning, a reaction, or a common social situation.

1. Hint 1: look for words that can mean liking something
2. Hint 2: one group is about friends or places
3. Hint 3: one group leans calm and relaxed
4. Hint 4: one group uses looser slang meanings, so read carefully

How to Use Hints Well

First, read all 16 words out loud and mark the phrases you already know. Then compare one known phrase with one unknown phrase. If both could appear in the same conversation, they might belong together.

Good slang practice is not only about the answer. It is about asking, "When would an American speaker say this?" Try to connect each phrase to a short scene: texting a friend, reacting to good news, canceling plans, talking about money, or describing a person.
