Use a Show & Tell hint
use_lifelineUse this only when the user asks for a hint. Reveals the word's category (after the first photo), its length (after 2 shots), or its first letter (after 4 shots). A hint is a shot of its own: right after it, call submit_guess with your guess, using every photo so far plus the hint; no new photo needed. One hint per shot. Each hint adds a 💡 to the user's share grid, and solving with no hints is the brag. In Get Out & Go, pass the star of the word, and kind "where" (where it's usually found), "letters" or "first_letter"; then guess that word right away with the same star. In a friends challenge, pass its challenge code; the hint shows on the board.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | Yes | ||
| star | No | Get Out & Go only: which of the five words this is for, 1 to 5 stars. The user says it, or the card sends "Next photo's for the ★★★ word." | |
| player | Yes | The player code from start_round, e.g. "brave-otter-4821". The same code in every chat keeps the streak going. | |
| challenge | No | A friends challenge code, like "K7QFX", when this call is for that challenge instead of the daily word. |
