Ryan, The words are similar because they all have to do with helping you to find correct information. However, they are each different from one another. Cue - A "cue" is a signal for you to do something. If you are driving, and the light turns red, that is your cue to stop. Clue - A clue helps to lead you to an unknown answer. We usually see the word clues used with mysteries. Detectives look for clues to solve mysteries. They don't know the answer yet, but the clues help to point in the right direction. Hint - A hint helps to lead you to a known answer. I know the answer, but I want you to guess, so I'll give you a hint. "Do you know when my birthday is? I'll give you a hint... it's just one day before a big holiday!" I hope that this has helped to answer your question!

clue = 線索 cue = 暗示 Hint = 提示 :) Hope these helps!
