What are rebus puzzles?

Rebus puzzles encode a word or phrase in pictures, symbols and letter arrangements. You “read” the image — its objects, positions, sizes and directions — and sound out the hidden phrase.

How do I solve a rebus I'm stuck on?

Say what you see out loud, then check position (over/under/in), size, direction and repetition — most rebuses use one of a handful of tricks. Our guide “How to solve rebus puzzles” walks through all nine with examples.
