A '''hint''' is an [[acting floor]] tile that only has any effect when [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] touch it. When activated, a hint will draw a string of text onto the screen to be read by the player, usually containing helpful info about the level they are playing or are about to play, or in a [[lesson level]] to briefly explain the various [[tile]]s showcased in the level. | A '''hint''' is an [[acting floor]] tile that only has any effect when [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] touch it.

In [[Tile World]], the hint has its own panel within the game window. Tile World 2 can also accommodate additional text between levels through [[CCX]] files, used primarily for storytelling. | In [[Tile World]], the hint has its own panel within the game window.

In [[Chip's Challenge 2]] and the Lynx release of Chip's Challenge, text is written directly to the main viewport in yellow. This only slightly obscures the screen in CC2. | |||

In CC2, however, this rule comes with a few exceptions: namely [[ice block]]s, [[directional block]]s, [[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s, and [[player mirror]]s, all of which treat hints as acting floor tiles. | ||
In Chip's Challenge 1, the hint is set for each ''level'', not for each hint ''tile''; therefore, a level cannot have multiple different hints even if it had multiple different hint tiles. However, in Chip's Challenge 2, each hint tile ''can'' have its own hint; thus, there can be multiple hints per level in CC2, as seen in the seven lesson levels. | In Chip's Challenge 1, the hint is set for each ''level'', not for each hint ''tile''; therefore, a level cannot have multiple different hints even if it had multiple different hint tiles.
