Field notes

The introductory lesson separates each clue into a normal definition and a wordplay instruction, then uses worked examples to show how the answer is assembled. Its mechanism index includes anagrams, hidden words, reversals, insertions, and homophones; the listed counts vary sharply, from 3,132 anagrams to eight homophones. The homepage says proposed clues receive human review before they can appear.
