HintSheet is an independent site that publishes the daily answers, hints and strategy for eighteen puzzle games — LinkedIn's eight, the New York Times' four, and six games from the Dle family — and a set of solvers for boards of your own. It launched in September 2026 and is run by one person, Sukie, who plays the games every day and maintains every page.
It exists because searching for a puzzle answer is a worse experience than it should be: pages that hide the answer behind clicks, pages that are a screenshot and three sentences, pages that spoil the puzzle you only wanted a hint for. HintSheet's rules are the opposite. The answer is the first thing on the answer page. Hints are staged so you see only what you ask for. Every solution is rendered from the puzzle's own data. And nothing here is a copy of the games themselves.
Who runs it
Sukie is the editor and the only person behind the site. She writes and maintains the game guides, reviews the daily pages, answers every email, and corrects errors the day they're reported. Her author page has her photo, background and public profiles, and every page on the site carries her byline with the date it was published and last updated. There are no anonymous or invented contributors.
How the answers are produced
Each game is read at its reset — the puzzle data the game serves to its own players — and the answer page is generated from that data: the Queens board with regions and crowns, the Strands grid with the spangram, the Spelling Bee list by length, the Pinpoint clues in order. Answers are cross-checked against a second source before publishing. Where a list is computed rather than read (Spelling Bee, whose official list the Times doesn't publish), the page says so.
The short commentary on daily pages — why a purple group works, which Tango deduction opens the board — is researched with AI assistance and edited before publication; the editorial policy describes the process in detail. The long-form guides, hubs and this page are written by Sukie.
What the site doesn't do
It doesn't host playable versions of any game. Queens, Wordle, Pokedle and the rest belong to LinkedIn, the Times and the developers who made them; every guide links to the real game to play. It doesn't publish NYT answers before the puzzle date, even where that's technically possible. It doesn't run affiliate links, sponsored posts or third-party content. And it doesn't collect anything you type into the solvers — they run in your browser.
How it makes money
Display advertising, through Google AdSense, once the site is approved. Ads are kept away from the answer and the reveal controls so nobody clicks one by accident. There is no paywall and no membership. If that changes, this page will say so first.
Corrections and contact
If an answer is wrong — it happens perhaps once a month, usually when a game corrects its own puzzle mid-morning — email the address on the contact page. Corrections are made the same day and the page's updated date changes. Suggestions for games to add are welcome through the same address.
Independence

What's next
More games as demand shows up — the Dle family is large, and there are LinkedIn and Times puzzles this site doesn't yet cover. More solvers where a solver adds something a hint page can't. And a steady refresh of the guides as the games change, with the updated date on each page reflecting real edits. Suggestions go to the contact page; the ones that recur get built.
