Postcard of the Day
Jun. 19th, 2022 05:21 pmBack in the early days of GAMES magazine, it had a puzzle called Eyeball Benders. They were pretty easy, usually. A little too easy. Close-ups of little bits of some common object, you try to figure out what.
This postcard schtick from the early days of postcards gave the answer, rather than (say) upside-down and small at the bottom, in these elongated letters you could read like regular words by holding the card at an acute angle toward the horizon away from you. If I'm saying that right.
You may have an easier time doing that here if you're on your phone or tablet, or maybe a laptop. But sometimes print still rules.
