How to solve a picture rebus
Name each picture out loud, simply and literally: sun, flower, tie. Then try the sounds together rather than the meanings, because many rebuses work on sound. If that fails, think about position and size, since a word written small, above or inside another can be part of the clue. Finally, check the category: Think shows a category card that tells you what kind of answer to look for.
How Think works
Each puzzle in Think shows a few simple pictograms. You type the word or phrase they combine into. If you are stuck, an Einstein character walks you through the puzzle one picture at a time, and you earn more hints by solving puzzles. The 516 puzzles are grouped into 43 chapters that get gradually harder. Your progress is saved in your browser, so you can come back later on the same device without an account.
Rebus puzzles for groups and classrooms
Rebus puzzles work well on a big screen because everyone can shout guesses at once. Put Think on a TV or projector, solve a chapter together, and use hints only when the room is stuck. Teachers use puzzles like these as warm-ups for vocabulary and lateral thinking. For more picture-based guessing, Guess the Movie 2 includes two-picture clues that spell out film titles.
