Your mission

The Word Wizard locked his spellbook. Every word in a sentence has a job. A noun names something. A verb shows action or being. An adjective describes a noun. An adverb tells how. A pronoun stands in for a name. Here is the wizard's trick: the SAME word can do different jobs in different sentences. You cannot tell a word's job by looking at the word alone.

How to crack a lock

  • Pick any lock from the menu at the top. You can solve them in any order.
  • Read every clue before you start. One clue alone is never enough.
  • Use scratch paper. Draw pictures, make lists, and cross things out.
  • Tap the buttons to build your answer. Then press "Try the lock".
  • A lock will not tell you which part is wrong, so be sure before you try.
