The Chuck-a-Nut puzzle is based on the concept of spoonerisms--when the sounds or syllables of two words are exchanged. An example of this would be the phrase "fight a liar" turning into the phrase "light a fire". In the game, users are given two clues of two spoonerisms, and have to figure out the correct answers. There are three hints available to assist players, and a "Beat's Me!" button if they cannot figure it out. Once they submit answers--correct or not--they get a scorecard with the day's results (with hints used and time taken) that they can share via text, email, etc. It is a short, sweet, fun daily activity that will entertain (and possibly even enlighten) users of all ages!
