Forrest gives a bit of his thoughts on the difference between a clue and hint in one of the above quotes:
There are hints in my book that will help you with the clues, but… a clue will point you toward the treasure chest, and a hint will just help you with the clues, if you can understand that.

All,
So I wrote a poem containing nine clues that if followed precisely, will lead to the end of my rainbow and the treasure:
There are also other subtle clues sprinkled in the stories.
Clues are in the poem, subtle clues outside of it.

I'm thinking 'subtle clues' are the 'hints' Forrest refers to...... Forrest has interchanged those words some.... He likes his Nine clues in the poem to be saying they take you the treasure, but there are hints/subtle clues that will help you understand those 'NINE' clues.... (and I believe these hints are in and out of the poem)
I think the word interchanging is similar to him using both the words Hidden and Buried. He wants to always say 'Hidden' (the treasure), but he does slip up sometimes and say Buried. Same for Clues and Hints. Because of their similar meaning and usage.
He likes them to be differentiated, though, in his way, but doesn't always do so himself.... just because when you know how you are using them, they can be understood. Forrest has told us how they are to be understood, and so whether he says clues in the book....or hints in the book, we know these hints/clues are not as powerful as the NINE clues in the poem.

The following Q/A states that the 'correct answer' to clues are not told in the book..... What might this mean? For instance, since certain places are names, does it mean they can't be the meaning for a clue, or can they still, since it hasn't been 'told' it is the meaning to the clue? mysteriouswritings.com/featured-question-with-forrest-subtle-clues-in-the-thrill-of-the-chase/Mr. Fenn, You have said to read the poem and read TTOTC to help solve for the 9 clues. We all know there are many options to choose from regarding, Brown, hoB, wwh,and blaze hinted at in the book.
My question is, “In the book, do you also, in a more subtle way, tell which is the correct answer to one or all of the above?” ~BW
No I don’t madam, sorry. f |

Sounds like the hints in the book are how to decode/read the poem.

No I don’t madam, sorry. fI hadn't noticed this interesting quote before. I take it to mean there are no confirmations, at least of those listed clues. Confirmations are subtly different than hints, imo. Hints might narrow down the possibilities but do not confirm the right one of all possibilities. Therefore, there's no naming of these, to the extent they have place names. |

The dust jacket was partly written by Forrest, or at least had to be okayed by Forrest. This is twice that the book reads clues. In my opinion there are clues but they need unlocked.
"Unlock the clues that are scattered among these pages and go home with a bronze chest so full of gold and precious jewels, that it's almost to heavy for one person to carry.

No I don’t madam, sorry. fThere are too many qualifiers in the question to draw specific conclusions from this statement. In order for Forrest to respond "Yes" the following would both have to be true: - TTOTC hints are subtle (as opposed to obvious)
- either one (1) or all (4) of the listed clues have a correct answer hinted at by the book
Imagine the difference if the question didn't have those two qualifiers and had instead been simply: "Does the book hint toward the correct answer to any of the clues?" I suspect Forrest would have had to answer yes instead of no.

What if the hints towards the solving of the clues are OUTSIDE the book?
