Target words
SCANNING
Reading each nursery rhyme carefully in order to answer each question would be onerous and time consuming. Scan the nursery rhymes to find what could be the target word and then check more carefully. The column number or the upper part (UP) or the lower part (LP) of the table of nursery rhymes is given with each clue, most of the time.
