This is a puzzle about Kangaroo and Joey words, as clued by the fact that “container” itself contains the words “tin” and “can”, which are synonyms (“tasted surprisingly similar to the real stuff”). In particular, Kangaroo words contain a synonym of itself as a substring, which is known as the Joey word.
Start by identifying the pictures, then find their corresponding Joey words. Then, index into the Joey word.
| Kangaroo word | Joey word | Index | Extraction |
|---|---|---|---|
| GIGANTIC | GIANT | 1 | G |
| PRECIPITATION | RAIN | 4 | N |
| CHOCOLATE | COCOA | 5 | A |
| SWEATY | WET | 1 | W |
| INSIGNIA | SIGN | 2 | I |
| DESTRUCTION | RUIN | 4 | N |
| RAMPAGE | RAGE | 3 | G |
| RESPITE | REST | 4 | T |
| CHICKEN | HAM | 1 | H |
| CHARISMA | CHARM | 4 | R |
| BLOSSOM | BLOOM | 3 | O |
| INSTRUCTOR | TUTOR | 2 | U |
| ENCOURAGE | URGE | 3 | G |
| INHERITOR | HEIR | 1 | H |
This gives the answer, GNAWING THROUGH.
