runHintfunction
Ask for a hint: the new game with it counted and the pair named, or null where none is left to use or no pair can be
taken. Given the slot the player has chosen, it looks for that tile's match first (hintFor): found says whether
the pair is that match (match), another pair because the chosen tile has none (other), or any pair (any).
