# Word hints

## Smart hints

In qutebrowser, urls can not only be hinted with letters and numbers, but also with words. When there is a sensible url text available, qutebrowser will even use that text to create a smart hint.

## Filled hints

When no smart hints are available, because the hint text is too short or l33t to use, words from a dictionary will be used.

## Hint conflicts

Of course, hints have to be unique. For instance, all hints below should get a different hint, whether they're smart or not:

- hinting should be a smart hint
- word is a prefix of words
- 3 is too 1337
- 4 is too 1337
