Default On-line riddle -- very cool, challenging

I just found Zest, a really cool web-based riddle.

It is a sequence of 39 images. For each image, the challenge is to find the "hidden" word. It sounds simple, and it is, but it is very challenging and (IMO) fun. The first one is pretty easy, but they get more difficult as you progress.


To get a bit more background, check out the hints page. It doesn't contain any spoilers, and gives you an idea about what you should be doing.

So...who's going to get to #39 first?

The first image is here. Once you find the word in the image, replace the word "one" in the url of the first image with the word you just found. Rinse and repeat.

p.s. It says you need Photoshop or GIMP, but really any decent image viewer will do the trick.

Since people are quick to post when they dominate online games, and never mention when they dont.... Ill have to go ahead and say I got to the second image, spent a few minutes on it, had no idea, and quit.

So I failed at picture 2 out of 39.

I'm on Image 4. This is tough.

Image 2... if you look at the source code for the page (which is what you need to do for hints) it says... "it's never about music." Then, the question it asks you is... what's the title? So, look at the Title of the page... and it says, "So you think you're deep enough?"

So you just gotta go with that, and you can get it.

Image 4 makes no sense to me... still working on it.

Look at the bolded OZ. Then look at the letters surrounding it. Not sure if I got lucky, but I saw a word there, and went with it.

If you're not in "deep" enough, then where do you have to go?
