What it does
The Universal Hint System organizes help as questions with progressively stronger hints, ranging from a small nudge to a full solution.
When stuck on a puzzle, select the relevant question and reveal only the amount of help you need. That makes UHS useful when a conventional walkthrough would expose later events. Its catalogue and older desktop hint readers span different eras, so check whether the particular game you need is covered.
Strengths
- Progressive hints reduce unwanted spoilers
