Doesn't retractable mean there's a clicker instead of a cap?

Yes, not sure why it says that-they definitely have a cap and aren’t retractable. Great pens, though!!

Can you see remaining ink supply in all colors as shown in the picture? I purchased and only four colors were clear.

No, you can't see the remaining ink in the most vibrant colors. Those have a white tube, which hides the ink. Red, blue, black have clear tubes.

How many different colors are there?

There are 8 colors, you can see which ones in the bottom right corner of the packaging.

Does the ink bleed through the page of a word search book?

No Dennis, it works great, does t bleed through. I use a highlighter to find the words and a Bic to decode the message I use the Bic’s for writing everyday. Love them.

Didn't work

Bought as an Xmas present. None of the pens worked. Waste of money. Couldn't be bothered to go through refund process for £31

Love these pens!

These are my new favorite teacher pens! The colors are vibrant. The pens write smoothly without skipping and I haven't had any smears to worry about. These are a better and more affordable choice than many other teacher favorites.
