Each puzzle contains 10 or more thumbnail images, which are details of larger pictures. When you double click on one, the entire picture appears in a separate window. Here you can type in your answer, look at two clues or find out the solution. Incorrect letters appear in red. Hyphenated words are treated as two separate words, and apostrophes are, of course, excluded.

Clicking on CLUE #1 reveals the first hint, along with a button for CLUE #2. The second clue is accompanied by an ANSWER button in case you want it. Clicking on OK will enter your answer into the puzzle and allow you to continue. Click on BACK if you choose to leave the item unanswered and return to the puzzle.

An image with a yellow frame illustrates a word or phrase where the spelling has been altered slightly to create a wordplay. The first clue for these begins with the words "Think of." In some cases, the picture shows a combination of two things or ideas that suggest a single word.

Wordplays that are specific to either British or American English have a flag icon in the lower right-hand corner of the large image.
