I don't think this is a "pun", unless you are thinking about something else
Also, one of the "now"s should be omitted, either one is fine. Also, "I got how it works from the picture"

I see
>>I don't think this is a "pun", unless you are thinking about something else
Oops! I just corrected “now i __now/ i_” into “now i __/now i_”
>>Also, one of the "now"s should be omitted, either one is fine.
So using the phrase “i got the picture” is irrelevant here?
Thank you for the alternative:D

"I got the picture" just means "I received the picture" and it doesn't make sense to be followed by "how it works"

Yes i think it means like that, and i’ve heard that it also means smth like:
“i can imagine the process (thanks to your explanation)”
So i thought i could use it for a pun... i see.
Thank you for helping me!☺️✨
