Hey, what's up? Firefly87 here, rewriting an article! Yes, you heard me, rewriting an article! I had a nice article all ready to be sent when suddenly it got deleted, but I decided the newbies need it, so I am going to write it again!

This article is for all you newbies that read the Whyville Times! I know what you newbies are going through, since I was one. The hating to be ugly, not being able to talk, and then talking but no one will listen because of the way you look! But I also know how it is sooo annoying for us almost-olbies & oldbies. You go around asking us for clams, face parts, or answers to games! I am going to help out EVERYONE, though! I am going to tell you the easiest games (remember, this is my opinion) and how to play them! :o)

Easiest Games: Sun Spot Puzzle, House of Illusions, Skating Game, Great Balloon Race levels 1-2, Dance Creation (once you have 20 clams), Smart Cars Track levels 1-4, WASA Rocket Levels 1-4, and GeoDig, if you can still get in! Editor's Note: GeoDig is still available as of this publication!

Explanations to the games:

Sun Spot Puzzle: Click the closest place to where you live that's on the list, then enter what time the sun rises and sets. Example: 6:30am & 7:00pm. Click submit and they will rank your choices, so they give you a prize (gold, silver, bronze). If your times weren't close enough to the real thing, you don't get a prize (or a salary increase). :o( When you get your rank, your salary gets raised a certain amount.

House of Illusions: Just use your arrow keys on the keyboard to move around the rooms! Check out the images and go through each room, that's it!

Skating Game: Move the skater into positions that you think would make her fastest! Don't forget to take down the secret password they give you!

Great Balloon Race: There is a picture of a balloon on the right -- click on the burner to raise it. Your balloon will move in the direction the arrows point: if the arrows are pointing the wrong way, keep raising the balloon until the arrows change. To make the balloon fall faster, click on the parachute at the top. When you're over the target, click on the bean bag, it will drop. Remember to let your balloon down slowly!

Dance Creation: Buy the cheapest one first! (Good for practice.) There should be little bars on the left; move them to choose the spot you want to move to. After you're finished, remember to name your dance and create a price, someone might buy it!

Smart Cars Track: Just move the suns onto the track to lead the car which way you want it to go, then click start to see if you made it or if you should make some changes!

WASA Rockets: Put fuel into the shuttle and choose which kind of rocket you want -- make sure you read what the screen tells you, it's important!

Geodig: Go to your satchel and check out the GeoDig book; find the secret sites and choose a place to dig. Ms. McShale tells you what kind of tool you need to use on the screen. Make sure you know it -- then say the word she told you to and just keep saying it until you dig up some rocks! Then go into your satchel and try to identify them.

Hope this information helps you!

Going to go chat and learn at the same time -- Firefly87!
