No warning for puzzle hints.

I accidentally clicked the hint button in puzzles and lost 12 points. The dev should add a warning.

sounds like your own problem tbh, just dont put your finger or cursor close to the button

You shouldn’t lose points if you hit the hint button

That stupid if you do that no offense but that would be kind of stupid like why are you losing your points if you accidentally clicked the home button that’s stupid and kind of dumb

There is a delay before the hint button becomes active.

maybe they should but never happened to me or any one else I herd of and there bigger problem right now

When I press it 3 times for a move I don’t get a delay for some reason

Thats odd

Yeah like when I vs a bot I use the hints a few times for a move or so and I don’t get a delay I don’t know if it doesn’t do delays or something is wrong with hints

the bot hint probably doesnt have delay

thats because the delay is over...

Same that’s weird they say it’s supposed to have a delay but I doesn’t show it

I'd say that this isn't that big of an issue for most people, accidents happen of course

Now if your cursor was randomly forced to the hint button for some reason and you click on it every time then I'd report it, but obviously this isn't the case

Probably just deal with it is what I'd do, such is daily average life on the chess website

They need to fix it up though find put what’s wrong and they can fix it

how do you fix something that isn't broken?

Look it up on the internet

The hint button can be useful when it comes to not knowing what move to make

The "hint" button is trash. You lose points. Don't take the hint. You have a better chance just guessing. I made the mistake of thinking "Hint" would just break me even.

do you guys actually take the time to read a serious post before bombarding it with dislikes? maybe you shouldn't be in beta if you don't want to engage in such discussions

Back to the OP's original question -- file this under "mistake you only make once (hopefully)" and move on. Putting an "Are you sure??" warning on a hint request is something I'd hope is very low on the developers to-do list. I know it's frustrating to mis-click something and have a negative consequence, but in the big picture this is not what I'd want the devs focusing on. It's just not that big a deal.
