# Hints

Some challenges have hints that you can unlock. Some hints are free, some hints cost points to unlock.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you unlock hints that cost points, those points will be deducted immediately.
{% endhint %}

To unlock hints, click on the question mark icon on the left hand side of the challenge interface. If the challenge has more than 1 hint, you can unlock them in any order. 

Hints may have a preview to tell you the contents of the hint so you can decide if it's worth it to unlock them or not. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Hints do not impact your performance or ranking in any way other than solely the point deduction.
{% endhint %}
