THE REBUS

The Rebus Puzzles are a mind titillating, amusing invention. They are usually images, often made of letters, words, images or a combination of them to make a cryptic representation of a hidden message. Here are a few examples:

    HIJKLMNO

These 8 letters probably seem to mean nothing at first glance, but think differently! We have the letters H to the letter O, so H to O or H2O. This is a Rebus repre- sentation of H2O or water. Here is another example:

         Yourself
         Yourself
   C     Yourself
         Yourself

We have the letter C and 4 times the word 'Yourself'. So the answer is C 4 Yourself or 'see for yourself'.

And here is our last example:

      R
      O
    ROADS
      D
      S

We have the words 'Roads' crossing each other which would translate as 'Crossroads'.

I hope this will have stirred some interest in you discovering more of the world of Rebus Puzzles!
