What is a word that means to hint at something? I'm not looking for alluding, either. I'm looking for another word, but I can't think of it. I tried thesaurus.com and they didn't have the word alluding at all.

alluding is a word...similar to implying

Never hint at anything. Say what you mean and say it so people can understand it and they will appreciate it.

"suggest" might work. I don't mean as in "a suggestion"..I mean as in "what are you trying to suggest?"

how about "to insinuate"?
