Hints — one at a time
Hint 1 of 5
Today's four words move from describing something lacking in length or stature, to the value something holds, to a structural beam supporting a floor, to the way an animal moves when creeping low and quiet.
Hint 2 of 5
One word describes someone who isn't very tall, or running out of something you need; another describes how much something is valued; a third is a horizontal beam that holds up a floor or ceiling; the last describes moving stealthily, hunched low to the ground.
Hint 3 of 5
Picture someone a few inches below average height, a price tag reflecting an item's value, a wooden beam hidden beneath floorboards, and a fox creeping low past a henhouse.
Hint 4 of 5
Near-matches to help narrow it down: think "brief" for the first, "value" for the second, "beam" for the third, and "crept" for the fourth.
Hint 5 of 5
