how-tos
Step-by-step instructions
How-tos are instructional guides that explain how to accomplish a specific task.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: I watched a how-to on replacing a faucet, how-to videos.
The hyphenated form emphasizes the practical, step-by-step nature—less formal than "instructions" or "tutorials," more hands-on than theory.
