A hint that may end with a tip? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cue
This clue might be a double definition.
'a hint that may end' is the first definition.
'cue' can be an answer for 'a hint' (cue can mean a hint or prompt). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'a tip?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cue that I've seen before include "Sports implement" , "Rod used in billiards" , "Used in snooker and on stage" , "Prompt; reminder" , "Billiards stick" .)
