The "Little Women" exercise in the finding things episode (07-find.md) used grep -o without explaining what it does or why it was used. This commit adds a hint to the exercise solution, clarifying that `grep -o` prints each match on a new line, and explaining that this is why it's used with `wc -l` to count all occurrences of a pattern.
