A question for people who have never used a cassette. What do you think the pencil is for?

To mark the spot on the tape where your favorite song starts.

The pencil fits in the hole. You can use that to move the tape. If it’s too loose, the tape player can draw it out and you have a mess to fix. To clean that mess up you also need the pencil to wind the tape from outside the cassette back into it.
