Punzzle-Solving Tips
Below, you will find a list of helpful tips and techniques that
you can apply when you are attempting to solve the Daily Punzzles.
Note that this is only a partial list of the ways that Punzzles can
be built. Clever Punzzles will use combinations of these
techniques, as well as others which are not mentioned here.
- Words spelled backwards:
This usually implies that one of the following words is in the
Punzzle: back, reverse, over, flip, turn, etc.
For example: REDRO is the word ORDER spelled backwards, and could
represent the Punzzle "back order".
- Words within words: This usually implies that
one of the following words is in the Punzzle: in, between, middle, etc.
For example: LAMOTHERW contains the word MOTHER in between LA and W,
and represents the Punzzle "mother-in-law".
- Letter case: Most Punzzles are done in
uppercase only. If a Punzzle contains mixed-case, this usually implies that
one of the following words is in the Punzzle: small, little, lower, big,
large, upper, etc.
For example: league contains only lowercase letters, and represents
the Punzzle "little league".
- Words over or under a line:
This usually implies that one of the following words is in the
Punzzle: over, under, on, etc.
For example: ACHIEVER has the word 'achiever' over top of the
line, and represents the Punzzle "over-achiever".
- Words in or near a box:
This usually implies that one of the following words is in the
Punzzle: in, out, left, right, bottom, top, etc.
For example: If the word GUN is located inside a box near the top,
it could represent the Punzzle "top gun".
- Homonyms:Are words that sound
the same, but are spelled differently.
For example: ELOR is the word ROLE spelled backwards, and is a homonym
of ROLL. It represents the Punzzle "roll over".
