It should be noted up front that familiarity with the rest of the RinkWorks site is important to solving the puzzles. You don't need to have explored the entire site, and you can still very likely fare just fine without being previously familiar with it, but very likely you'll need to keep a browser window open to explore RinkWorks to hunt down clues. Many of the puzzles refer to RinkWorks feature names, while others refer to elements within the features. The Site Guide will often be particularly helpful to you. The puzzles are presented in a slightly different way, depending on which story you undertake.
All letters are lower case, and there are never any spaces or punctuation.
To use the answer to get to the next story, you must insert it into the URL field in your browser. For the remainder of this illustration, we will assume we are reading story number 1. When you find the answer to the riddle you must amend this URL to get to the next chapter. Basically, you add the answer after the story number, then append .shtml . Good luck, and if you get stuck early on, don't despair.
