The difference is the same as between a point and a line.
A 'hint' is a piece of information. If you put several together, one behind the other, you get a 'thread'.
In a detective story, the detective looks for hints, then for clues to confirm them and follows the thread which leads him to the solution.
You can also 'lOOse the thread' of a conversation, the same phrase/expression is used in French.
Please, remember 'I' spells with a CAPITAL letter.
