Can you crack the rebus?

What am I looking at?

• Each card shows one rebus: a phrase encoded in how the letters look, not what they spell.
• Read the clues in the layout — a word on top means "over", a tiny word means "small", a repeated word means "double" or "tri-", and so on.
• Type the phrase you think it is — the faster you solve it, the more points (up to 10).
• Can't crack it in 3 minutes? Multiple choice unlocks as a fallback, worth fewer points. Hints help, but cost points.

The takeaway

• Rebuses work because your brain reads position and form as meaning, not just the letters — the same trick behind logos, emoji and road signs.
• The "aha" moment is your mind switching from reading to seeing. That mental flip is exactly what good lateral-thinking puzzles train.
