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?
Then comes an insight; a connection out that you never considered before: The fat belongs to the Lord. [1] You would never have thought of that if you had not read Leviticus. Even then it is doubtful you would have made the connection between a sacrifice and the blessings of the Promised Land. Milk has fat in it and honey does not. Milk represents the heavenly blessings, and honey represents the earthly blessings.
What difference does it make? It is now reusable to interpret other scripture. Some people imagine it is sinful to enjoy anything in the flesh. But God says we may eat honey; enjoy the earthly blessing God has given us, but not so much to make us sin. [2]
There are hints using the alphabet, numbers, and patterns. Any metaphor that has been penciled in by another can be used as a starting point to validate for yourself.
Next, let's look at some numbers that are helpful.
