Puzzle Description:

At what point did the title click?

Hasn't clicked yet, but then I haven't had enough coffee yet.

I see your point

R you missing something?

About 10 seconds after reading the description. Clever.

I also love the wordplay with the word "click". It's a nice touch.

Pointing, clicking, maybe separated pointers? Slip an R in there somewhere maybe?
I sense a forehead-slapping moment coming...

It took me reading the comments and a few seconds before I understand the title. Nice puzzle!

Nothing is clicking for me and it is driving me crazy. I see "point, pointer, pointing..." Everyone is saying, "R." Is that simply a divider...or maybe an "I?" Then there is another "pointer, arrow, up..."

Finger pointing?

Doesn't "Curses" usually go with, "Curses, foiled again!"

Maybe it's not an arrow...maybe it's a tree falling over...could it be "Finger Timber!

Will someone show me a little mercy...I'm in dire straits here!

JoDeen, these are cursors (the pointer thingies on your screen). The three shown are popular options. Cursors / curses, get it?

I thought of - the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Thank you, Bill. This is one I wouldn't have gotten without your help. I am deeply appreciative. I know what cursors are, of course...I would just never think of that hand as one...nor that funny one in the middle. Sigh. I need to be more up on things. I'm working on it! Thank you again!

JoDeen, all three of those cursors can be seen on this page.

The arrow is the "normal" pointer.

The middle one is the text cursor - it should show up whenever you are over text, or in a text box.

The hand is shown when you are over a link.

Didn't get it until I read the others. Good illustration now that I know what it means.
