# 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 %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
