Hints are suggestions of things that have helped others get over the initial shift into solving riddles rather than inventing opinions.
Sometimes by following the hint you get an endpoint answer, but more often they suggest a deeper dig.
An example is the Promised Land which is described as flowing with milk and honey. We have a hint that says when you have two things, they are two sides of one thing. This suggests your remind yourself of your English 101 Classes and you compare and contrast the two things.
The basis for this hint is the letter vav ו translated 'and'. 'And' joins two things but the vav ו is the sword that separates one thing into two. When we compare, we consider how they are similar, or how they are one thing. Milk and honey are the chosen attributes of the Promised land to summarize what is being promised: blessings from God.
As we contrast, we consider how they are different. But where do we begin? One comes from cows the other from bees... one is white the other yellowish... one is sticky the other not. But we're just making stuff up. The hint will suggest that we look at the two things as contrasting heavenly stuff with earthy stuff. We have a beginning: The promised Land is full of heavenly blessings and earthly blessings. Many will be content with this answer, but can we distinguish which is which?
