Rebus Puzzles
A rebus uses word placement, spacing, direction, or repetition to represent a phrase. Solve each original puzzle, reveal a hint if you need one, and read the explanation after you answer.
Rebus phrases can have regional variants. The accepted answers and explanations are shown for each puzzle; if a phrase is unfamiliar, use the reveal control to learn the wordplay.
Punctuation and capitalization do not matter. Some puzzles accept common equivalent wording.
How do rebus puzzles work?
Look at what the words say and how they are arranged. A word above another can mean “over”; a word inside another can mean “in”; unusual spacing or direction may represent part of a familiar phrase. Each answer below includes an explanation.
