It sounds like you need to complete the captcha, skip if I remember correctly is when the captcha presents you with a set of images which don't match the question asked.
For example, Click on all the bridges and there are no bridges in the images.

You could try a different browser, I have only to click on the little box for years now, I'm usually using Firefox sometimes Google Chrome.
Just tried Microsoft Edge and got the images.

What's your trick, Sinann?
I use Firefox and nearly always get the images, sometimes several sets in succession.

I have to say the captchas are infuriating.  Sometimes it's hard to see whether the cars (or whatever) extend over the boundary into a neighbouring square.  Yesterday I was required to click on taxis, and just had to guess they were the yellow cars: never seen a taxi that colour anywhere in Europe!

The images are usually from America ;D
No idea what my trick is, I hate even admitting it in case I jinx it.
