What is a "rebus"?
A rebus is a puzzle that uses pictures, symbols, or letters to represent words or parts of words. The challenge is to decode the pictures or symbols to figure out the phrase or word they are representing. For example, a picture of an eye and a heart could represent the phrase "I love." Rebus puzzles often involve wordplay and can be found in games, books, or as part of a brain teaser. They are a fun way to engage the mind by testing one's ability to think creatively and make connections between images and language.
