Visual word search

OK, I know that any word search is visual, or they'd call it sound search or touch search, but just give me a sec to explain. I was trolling the labs sites (Yahoo, Google, etc) and happened across this really cool Flickr game on Yahoo. You give it a tag (word) and it grabs pictures from Flickr that match taht tag and puts the tags themselves into a world search, but... instead of providing the tags for you to find, it provides the pictures as the clues.

It's called PhotoSoup, and unfortunately, it looks like you might need a Yahoo account to play (I had to log in). There's a time limit, and a hints button which provides the text tags. Not quite as addicting as Google's Image Labeler, but fun nonetheless.
