The '''hint''' is an [[acting floor]] tile, but only has any effect when Chip touches it. When he steps on it, the bottom half of the right panel (containing the "CHIPS LEFT" display and the eight tiles which signify that Chip has [[key]]s and [[boot]]s in his possession) is replaced with the text "Hint:", followed by the hint text of the level. In the [[Lynx]] ruleset, the hint is an [[acting wall]] to [[block]]s and [[monster]]s.

−

The hint is set for each level, not for each hint tile. Therefore, a level cannot have two different hints even if it had two different hint tiles. ([[Special]] is the only CC1 level with multiple hints.) The maximum length of the hint text is 255, since 255 is the highest number of characters that can be indicated with one byte. If the hint exceeds this length, its level will not play, and the screen will instead show the "victory" picture of Chip at the end of the game, with a [[computer chip]] in his hand and held up by the Bit Busters. (See external links.)

Only twenty-one levels in [[Chip's Challenge 1]] contain hints: the eight lessons, [[Southpole]], [[Cellblocked]], [[I.C. You]], [[Traffic Cop]], [[Paranoia]], [[Open Question]], [[Oversea Delivery]], [[Perfect Match]], [[Totally Unfair]], [[Partial Post]], [[Pentagram]], [[Thanks to...]] and [[Special]].
