How To Play:
Main Game Screen
Homonym Madness is a puzzle game where you have to determine the word that fits both definitions provided. In each puzzle there are five words that have to be solved based on two definitions that fit that word. Also at the bottom of each puzzle is another word (clue answer) that has to be solved using the definition provided and the letters in red boxes from the five words above. Unscramble the letters in red boxes to make the word. Conversely, if you think you know the clue answer to the word at the bottom, you can use its letters to help you solve any words above that you are having problems solving.
Once you think you have solved the entire puzzle, click the Correct? Button. If you have all five answers and the clue answer correct, you have solved the puzzle. You will then be given the opportunity to play again.
Puzzle Solved Message
However, if you have missed any of the answers (including the clue answer), you will be notified how many items you have incorrect. You will then be able to return to the puzzle and correct them.
