## Hints before answers
The page is built as a ladder. Five hints come first, then today's answers, then the Daily Sequence answers and the archive of past ones.
## Read the warning
A spoiler warning sits above the solutions. Stop scrolling at whichever hint unsticks you, because the answers are printed a few lines below.

## Today's vowel count
Hint one is the vowel tally: today's four answers use 4 different vowels between them. That rules out a lot of openers straight away.

## The rest of the ladder
After vowels come repeated letters, uncommon letters, and two rounds of starting letters. Each one gives away a bit more than the last.
