Field notes
Each feeder game supplies one letter: the circled square in the word game, letter Sudoku, and mini crossword, plus the leftover letter in the word search. Those letters fill matching-color gaps in a cryptic clue, after which the player gets one final answer attempt. The page includes keyboard instructions for each puzzle, along with hint, scratchpad, shuffle, and drawing controls. The extracted text does not expose the actual grids or clue.
