No Demo Hints and Skips

I'm more than a little annoyed that hints and skips do not work in the demo. I don't have a tendency to purchase games I'm annoyed with even if I've liked others in the series.

Not sure if it's an error in your download or not but make sure you are clicking on the word "hint" and/or "skip" and not the crystal ball above the words. The crystal ball is for something else.

I had that problem too, however because I was in custom mode I realized the boxes for hint recharge and skip recharge were not marked. If you have not uninstalled the game you could try going to the options and then game mode and verifying that both boxes are checked.

Mine worked fine.
