The solver must interpret the arrangement and relationship of these elements to decode the hidden meaning. For example, the word “man” placed above the word “board” might represent “man overboard.”
This type of puzzle promotes creative thinking and problem-solving skills. It encourages individuals to look beyond the literal and consider alternative interpretations of visual cues. Historically, its use can be traced back to ancient forms of visual communication and has evolved into a popular form of recreational challenge.
