<---Previous clue

"Whew," you exhale after making it through the maze alive. "That was tough."
After stopping to drink a bit of water from your backpack (did you forget that you had it? We mentioned it back in Clue Two), you start walking down thw drab, gray hallway. After about a minute and a half, you reach a door with a sign on it. And, of course, the keypad.
Resignedly, you start to read the sign, wishing that you weren't a [redacted].

Hello. Since you have done remarkably well surviving, we have present for you. It is: An easy clue!
Perhaps you require an explanation. Previously, you entered a maze, solved riddles, and decoded ciphers. But now, everything you need to know is on this sign. Good luck!

P.S.
Since we're being generous, you have three tries before it kills you. Good luck once again.
