What is the difference between a hint and a clue ?

Question:

Answers:
Here are the definitions:

Hint: an indirect, covert, or helpful suggestion; clue

Clue: anything that serves to guide or direct in the solution of a problem, mystery, etc

So as you can see a hint is a clue - a clue leads to the hint.
a hint is smaller than a clue. It maybe part of a clue but not the whole clue.
Usually there is no difference, but some may say that a hint is verbal, and a clue is an actual thing like evidence
A clue is a more direct guide to the solving of a problem, and a hint is a way to make your clue known in an indirect manner.

A lot of people (and books) use the two words interchangeably, though.
Hint's are more often given willingly (as in "Alright I'll give you a hint about it) where as clue's are typically stumbled upon.
same, except hint seems to add more of a suggestive side than clue.
Not much, if you ask me, and you did.
nothing.
