tips

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'hints' is the first definition.
('tip' can be a synonym of 'hint')

'extremists?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tips that I've seen before include "Gratuties" , "Hints or gratuities" , "Areas for dumping waste" , "leavings in restaurant?" , "Turns over" .)
