Be on the lookout...

While most Re:Punzles end in an adverb, this may not always be the case. Some swifty answers are "IPS," or "In Plain Sight." We'll give you a heads up when this is the case, just know that these answers are embedded right in the riddle - you'll have to look closely with a keen eye for puns! 

Lastly, don't get discouraged! 

Some of these Re:Punzles are so ridiculous we can’t even solve them ourselves.
