Pointers, hints (4)
I believe the answer is:
tips
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'pointers' is the first definition.
(pointer can mean a tip or suggestion)
'hints' is the second definition.
('tip' can be a synonym of 'hint')
(Other definitions for tips that I've seen before include "Hints or gratuities" , "extra payments" , "Gratuties" , "Useful hints" , "Turns over" .)
