Puzzle Description:

#1: Joseph Jessen (gijoex2) on May 29, 2010

I liked doing this puzzle, but, I thought a rebus was more like a series of pictures representing a phrase or word rather than a neat picture of a word.

this is supposed to be something that we are not seeing

It can be either Joseph. Usually there is some kind of action indicated. For example: this would be Count Down
c
o
u
n
t

and TOthrowWEL would be Throw in the Towel

So the answer to the puzzle was Coffee Break

I love rebus's and this was a good one :) Thanks!

Good rebus

Merriam-Webster defines a rebus like this: "a representation of words or syllables by pictures of objects or by symbols whose names resemble the intended words or syllables in sound; also : a riddle made up of such pictures or symbols." I can't remember what you call TOthrowWEL, but it's not a rebus.

Wow, Billie, being that I'm a librarian, I like to see a person quote the dictionary! I actually got the puzzle from a word rebus book. The author states that he also likes to call them Position Puzzles. Do you like that description better?

Thanks everyone!

Ohhhh, now I get it. Good one. :-)
