Description

The Level Template includes functionality for a hint button that appears after 3 failed attempts. A lot of levels still have this code ever when there is no hint.

These buttons need to be removed or populated with hints

Research direction

Start by locating the Level Template implementation and the levels that use its hint-button functionality. Check how the button appears after three failed attempts and identify levels without hints; the work is done when each affected level either has a usable hint or no phantom hint button appears.
