How a Kryzzle clue works

  1. Read

    The clue is printed in cipher. At first it looks like nonsense.

  2. Decode

    Spin the cipher wheel until the letters snap into English.

  3. Fill

    Now it is a normal crossword clue. Solve it and fill the grid.

Try it. Spin the inner ring, the answer has 3 letters.
