This was one of the original games on the Wordly-Wise server. It was inspired by an early CD-ROM based dictionary that allowed you to search for terms using several criteria - one of which was by scanning definitions. Often the clues are provided in decreasing order of difficulty, allowing you to score yourself on how quickly you determine the key word.
