HINT: A hint button is available in the lower-left corner of the screen that displays a picture representation of the target word. You can expand the image using the arrows in the lower-right corner. Using the hint will mark the item as incorrect (as it was not answered with the auditory stimulus only), but may help you associate the meaning with the written word.
