Eye Cue 2      

This game is an updated rebus, using photographs to represent parts of a word, phrase, name, or title. For example, the word TENNESSEE might be represented by a picture of a TENNIS game and a picture of the SEA. Notice that a single photo might represent many different words; thus, the image of a car could mean any of the following: CAR, A CAR, AUTO, AN AUTO, AUTOMOBILE, VEHICLE, FORD (or whoever the manufacturer is), TAURUS (or whatever the model is), JALOPY, SEDAN, HOOD (if that's the focus of the picture), or even DRIVE, DRIVING, DRIVEN, DROVE, or DRIVER (if we can see someone behind the wheel). Now see how many of these you can solve.

If you need a hint, click on a picture to reveal what it stands for; releasing the mouse returns the picture. For answers, click the question marks.

There are twelve Eye Cue puzzles to solve online. A printer-friendly file with more Eye Cues is also available. You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open this file. (Note: This online puzzle may not work correctly in all browsers. If the answers and clues do not appear correctly, you may need to try the puzzle in a different browser. The answers can also be found in the printer-friendly file.)
