How to solve letter puzzles. It was "net" became "sakok". Basic rules for composing puzzles

Are you ready? Let's go!

And here you have to puff a little longer: you need to unravel whole proverbs:

Well last task for real pros! Guess what phrase is encrypted here:

10.

How to solve puzzles? Let's remember a few rules:

1. The names of all objects depicted in the pictures should be read in the nominative case.

2. Commas before a picture or word mean how many letters need to be removed from the beginning of the word.

3. Commas (usually upside down) after a picture or word indicate how many letters need to be removed from the end of the word.

4. Crossed out letters mean that such letters need to be removed from the word. If there are several such letters in a word, then all of them are crossed out.

5. Crossed out letter numbers mean that it is necessary to cross out only letters with the corresponding serial number from the beginning of the word.

6. An equality of type I=E means that in a word all letters I should be replaced with E. If an equality of type 1=C is indicated, then only the first letter should be replaced with C. (P=S SAW - POWER)

7. The use of an arrow going from one letter to another also serves to indicate the corresponding replacement of letters. A-P

8. The numbers 3,1,4,5 above the picture mean that from the word you must use only letters numbered 3,1,4,5 and in the order of the numbers.

9. A picture turned upside down means that the word needs to be read backwards.

10. If a fraction is used in the rebus, then it is deciphered as “NA” (divide BY). If a fraction with a denominator of 2 is used, then this is deciphered as “FLOOR” (half).

11. In puzzles, when encrypting, notes are often used. Indicate their name.

12. If the pictures are placed one below the other, then this is deciphered as “ON”, “ABOVE”, “UNDER”.

13. A letter made up of other letters is deciphered as “IZ”. If we depict a large “A” with small letters “B”, we get “FROM B A”

14. A letter written on top of another stands for “PO.”

15. If one letter is depicted behind another letter, then this is deciphered as “FOR” or “BEFORE”.

16. If an arrow pointing to the left is drawn above the picture, then you first need to decipher the word, and then read it backwards.

17. The crossed out "=" sign between pictures should be read as "NOT" (Example: "C" is NOT equal to "G").

Well, now the answers:
1. St. Petersburg
2. Supermarket
3. Beginning
4. Tournament
5. Classic
6. Compote
7. God protects those who are careful
8. Out of sight, out of mind
9. Language will bring you to Kyiv
10. If you are suddenly bitten by a crocodile, all you have to do is press hard on its eyes and it will let you go.

Pay attention to the rules that will help you make puzzles with letters and words.

Rebus – This is one of the types of puzzles that is most widely known. The year of publication of the first printed collection of puzzles can be considered 1852. The author of the collection is Frenchman Etienne Tabour. In Russia, puzzles appeared only in the middle of the last century and were then largely imperfect.

Rebus - “A riddle in which the desired word or phrase is depicted by a combination of drawings, figures, letters or signs” S.I. Ozhegov. Currently, the word “rebus” is often used in more in a broad sense. It has become a common noun to denote everything intricate, mysterious and incomprehensible.

Rebus alphabet

In the “rebus alphabet”, as in a kaleidoscope: many intricateletter combinations, numbers and numbers, signs and other objects - drawings. The peculiarity of the rebus letter is that the words in it are indicated by images various items, "things". Solving the rebus is not difficult - what is drawn is what you need to read.

Punctuation marks usually not shown in puzzles; when decrypted, they are restored in meaning.They are not shown because they can be understood differently. A comma - a punctuation mark - can easily be confused with a rebus comma - a sign that excludes a letter from the name of a picture. Sometimes there are exceptions. Question mark It is usually placed where it is needed.

Not observed in puzzles and scale. Therefore, a “cat” can be larger than a “lion” and vice versa - an “elephant” is smaller than a “matchbox”.To solve puzzles correctly, you need to know the “rebus alphabet” and the rules of solving.

Rules for solving puzzles

Rule 1. The objects and living creatures depicted in the pictures most often (with rare exceptions) read like words in the nominative case and singular. Sometimes the desired object in the picture is indicated by an arrow.

Rule 2. If the picture is drawn upside down, read the word backwards. For example, a cat is drawn upside down - we read tok, poppy - kam, mushroom - birg. There are objects (knife, pencil, barrel, chain, wheel) that, no matter how you depict them, do not look “upside down”. In such cases, commas help us, complementing the picture depicted “upside down”. Using such commas, it can be established that the hidden word must be read from right to left, that is, “upside down”: path - aport.

Rule 3. Commas after the paintings ki indicate how many letters need to be removed from the end of the word denoting what is shown in the picture. For example, a goat is drawn with two commas after it - we read KO.Commas before the picture indicate how many letters need to be removed at the beginning of the word denoting what is shown in the picture. For example, an elephant is drawn with a comma in front of the picture - read LON.

Rule 4. Numbers may appear above or below the picture. Each digit is the number of a letter in the word: 1 - the first letter of the word, 2 - second letter, 3 - third, and so on. A certain set of numbers under or above the picture indicates that you need to take only these letters and read them in the specified order. A crossed out number means that the given letter should be omitted. For example, drawn horse and numbers 2,1 under it - read OK.

Rule 5.Equal sign between letters means replacement a certain letter (or combination of letters) of a word into another letter (or combination of letters). The equal sign can be replaced with an arrow. The action of replacement is also indicated in a third way - the letters that are being replaced are crossed out, and replacement letters are written above them. For example, a mole is drawn, and next to it are crossed out letters RO and the letter on top AND - we read WHALE.

Rule 6. Letters can be depicted inside other letters, above other letters, on the surface of other letters, under and behind them. In such cases, it is necessary to understand in what spatial relationships the depicted letters consist.

Rule 7. Letters can be depicted on the surface of other letters. For example, shown capital letter N, and scattered across it are small And - read PONY(although it can also be read as IPON, NIZI or IZIN). Or faith". The drawing is readable : "Faith”.

Rule 8. In rebuses, a special type of hand-drawn letters is also used, which are given the outlines of movable or stationary figures. For example, sitting, lying, running, etc. A verb is added to such a letter-figure: sitting, lying, running, etc.

Rule 9. In puzzles there are so-called hidden prepositions (on, before, in, at, by, to, from, over, with, from, behind, under). When reading a picture with them, you should add the correspondingprepositions. For example: under “B” al (basement), in “O” l (ox) or before “A” h a (transmission) etc.

Rule 10. Used in puzzles numerals. For example: 40 A (magpie), 100 g (stack), 7Y (family), distance (distance).

Rule 11.Crossed out letter speaks for itself, that is, when reading this word, do not take into account the crossed out letter, do not read it. If instead of a crossed out letter there is another letter, the word should be read with the letter not crossed out, but with a newly written letter. A crossed out number above or near the figure indicates that this word You can't read a letter like that.

Rule 12.Numbers, standing next to the picture - a sign for rearranging letters, indicating that in this word you need to rearrange the letters in the order in which the numbers follow one after another (from left to right)

The techniques listed above can be combined with each other. Knowing these basic rules will help you solve this or that puzzle without much difficulty.

Such entertaining tasks develop concentration and attention in the child, which will contribute to productive learning activities at the beginning academic year. "Attention- This,- according to K.D. Ushinsky, - the only gate through which everything enters our consciousness" This is the first step of composure.

I studied the rules.

As already mentioned, the prototypes of the rebus can be considered Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese writing, Mexican pictography, etc. But for all their external similarity with ancient picture writing, rebuses differ in that each object depicted in them is usually very far from what was meant cryptographer If ancient man wanted to say that the soldiers, say, were walking along the road, then he would have drawn the road. In the rebus, instead of it, perhaps, the note C and horns will be depicted, that is, objects that have nothing to do with this concept not having. That is why it is not always easy to read a rebus without knowledge of encryption techniques.

Let's look at some of them:

1. The rebus is read from left to right, top to bottom.

2. Punctuation marks and spaces are not taken into account in the rebus.

3. The names of the depicted objects are read in the nominative case in the singular.

If several identical objects are depicted, then they are read in the plural.

4. Drawings can be interpreted in different ways. This is the main difficulty in solving puzzles. You need to choose a word that has the right meaning. For example, the sign “1” can correspond to: One, unit, count, etc.

5. If there are commas to the left of the picture, then you need to discard the first letters of the word (as many letters as there are commas). If commas are to the right of the picture, the last letters should be discarded.

6. If there are numbers above the picture, then the letters must be read in the order indicated by the numbers. Not all letters of the word may be indicated, in which case it is necessary to read only those indicated.

7. If a crossed out letter is shown above the picture, it means that this letter must be removed from the resulting word. Also, if there is a crossed out number next to the picture, then it is necessary to exclude the letter with such a serial number from the name of the item.

8. If another letter is written next to a crossed out letter, then it should be read instead of the crossed out one. Sometimes in this case an equal sign or an arrow is placed between the letters.

9. If a number, an equal sign and a letter are shown next to the picture, this means that the letter with the specified serial number must be replaced with the one indicated in the equality.

10. If a letter is inserted above the picture between the numbers, this means that this letter must be inserted into the resulting word between the letters standing in the places indicated by the numbers.

11. If the picture is turned upside down, then the word corresponding to the picture must be read from right to left.

12. If objects, numbers or letters are depicted one within the other, then their names are read with the addition of the preposition “in” (before or between the names).

13. If one letter represents another, then when reading, the preposition “by” is used (before or between names).

14. If the image of one letter is made up of another letter repeated many times, then when reading, the preposition “from” is used (before or between names).

15. If objects, numbers or letters are depicted in movement or the direction of movement is shown, as well as the actions they perform, then when solving a rebus it is necessary to take this into account.

16. If objects, numbers or letters are depicted one on top of the other, then their names are read with the addition of the preposition “on”, “above” or “under” (before or between the names).

17. If one object, number or letter is depicted behind another, then their names are read with the addition of the preposition “before” or “for” (before or between the names).

Rebus is an exciting puzzle game that develops ingenuity, logic and the ability to find unusual things in a picture. These puzzles will be interesting for both adults and children, as some of them have very high level complexity. They are used in schools to teach children how to quickly use data, process it and organize it into in the right position. Often a rebus of letters or words has several spelling options and you need to choose the most suitable sound, which allows you to develop memory and vocabulary. Only the child who has enough words in his memory so that he can recognize and understand them can take on solving puzzles. Simpler problems are given to children from the second grade, when they already know the alphabet and numbers well, baby younger age he just won't understand how to solve it. You need to start with picture puzzles, they are considered simpler; letter puzzles and note puzzles will be more difficult. They will only be possible for a child with special knowledge.

Puzzles have rich history, they appeared even before writing. After all, it was with the help of pictures that ancient people tried to convey to others the meaning of certain events. Nowadays, puzzles are used as entertainment and a game that will captivate the whole family. In order to solve them, you need to remember a number of rules in order to understand what is read and in what order.

What could a rebus be?

A rebus is a picture that can show:

letters;
numbers;
arrows;
pictures;
fractions;
notes;
commas and periods.

They can be upside down, located in each other and in different positions in the picture. All such puzzles are divided by difficulty level. The simplest ones can be read very easily, for example, “Bumblebee” and “Table”:

You will have to think about more complex pictures.

And there are those for which you will have to be patient with pen and paper.

But for all of them there are certain rules by which puzzles are solved. If you figure it out, even the most complex proverb puzzles will yield and become understandable.

How to read a rebus?

The rebus itself is a whole picture; before you start solving it, you need to understand whether there are any special rules for reading it. If they are not there, then the words or phrases are read as usual, from left to right, but if they are, then this must be taken into account. There are two main signs:

Arrows from right to left indicate that a word or several words should be read in reverse: from right to left.

Rules for solving the rebus

The image itself includes letters, numbers and pictures that must be read and combined in a certain order. Therefore, they look not only at what is drawn, but also at how it is done. If there is a picture in the rebus, they select a word that goes with it, here you need to use your imagination and remember that sometimes it can be a jar, and sometimes what lies in it. All other elements are “read” in order, taking into account some rules:

Numbers, signs and commas

Very often the image is accompanied by commas, equal signs, minus signs or a row of numbers. This talks about what to do with the letters that make up a word. All actions can be seen in the pictures below, in which a “flower” is drawn, which must be turned into a “current”.

If there are commas near the picture, you need to look where they are and count them. When they appear before a word, the first letters are subtracted; if after it, then the last ones, in the amount of commas.

Sometimes there are crossed out letters next to the picture, this indicates that they need to be removed from the word.

And when there are “=”, “+” or “-” next to each other and additional letters or a picture, this indicates that this action needs to be done with the word. Letters are added either before the word or at the end. But sometimes "+" or "-" indicate that you need to add "to" or "from". We must always remember this.

The numbers next to the word indicate in what order and what letters should be taken.

Large numbers and signs

Large numbers and signs drawn in a rebus the size of the main pictures are perceived as a word or action. When they exist, they are added to the word different letters or syllables.

a large “+” indicates that you need to add “to”, “with” or “and”;
a large “-” indicates that you need to add “from”;
a number adds those letters that are in the word that signifies it.

For example, there are three pictures above: R + C = rice, ok-mol = hammer, 100l = table.

How to solve letter puzzles?

Sometimes a rebus consists of only letters, which are drawn in in different forms and position. The same decision rules apply to them:

if the letter is drawn in a letter, then add: “in”;
if the letter is above the letter, add: “above” or “on”;
if the letter is under the letter, “under” will be added;
if the letters are drawn from letters, you should definitely indicate this by adding “from”.

For example:

In the letter “O” we have “ron” written, that is, it should be read as “crow”.

The letters “S”, “D” and “T” grabbed the handles together, so the letter “i” is added between them - and we get the word “sits”.

This suggests that you need to add “on” to the sentence.

The letter “E” contains the letters “TKE”, that is, it is read as “v+e+tke” - “branch”.

All that remains is to connect all the words and we get: a crow is sitting on a branch. Letter puzzles allow you to develop your imagination well and learn to quickly form words.

How to solve puzzles with notes

Puzzles with notes are designed for those children who study music and it is not difficult for them to determine which note is drawn in the picture. To solve the puzzle, take seven notes and use their names.

This is the note "C" and "m", read as "house".

And these are “fa” and “sol”, that is, “beans”.

Such puzzles help you quickly remember how to write notes and quickly, subconsciously use them.

How to solve complex puzzles made from pictures, letters and numbers?

Puzzles are divided by level of difficulty. They mean not only words, but also phrases. If the picture seems too complicated, don’t be shy to take a pen and paper and break it down into its components. When you need to guess not just one word, but a proverb or famous phrase, then usually the author always writes about it. Let's take, for example, a rebus:

and let's try to solve it. We remember that rebuses are read from left to right like words in a book; if there are no additional icons, and this rebus does not have them, then you should start from the right.

From the letter “E” the letters “la” move away, that is, the whole picture needs to be read as “s+e+la”, that is, we get the first part: “sela”

Here we see that the letters “ha” are holding the letter “m” in their hands and we get the following combination “m+u+ha”. Of course, you can also read “u+ha+m”, but, in my opinion, the fly is still better.

This is a big jar delicious jam, since there are no commas, numbers or signs next to it, this indicates that the entire word must be used in its entirety, without changes.

And this indicates what is being added – “on” or “above”. In our case, “on” is more suitable.

As a result of the fact that the complex picture was decomposed into simple elements, we received a simple rebus from the words: village + fly + jam + on. As a result, we get the phrase: “A fly sat on the jam.”

In each case, it is worth turning on your imagination and learning to quickly use the rules - and then complex puzzles will not be so difficult. The main thing is to always be careful and not lose any elements.

Hello everyone!

How about a mental workout? Do you like to solve crossword puzzles and think about logic problems in your free time? People began to turn complex things into fascinating things a long time ago by drawing abracadabra and intricate diagrams. Puzzles to decipher hidden words, or in common parlance - rebuses, are a whole art that lives by its own rules of composition and solving.

Do you know how to solve puzzles or encrypted riddles for you - a dense forest? It turns out that there are techniques and techniques here that allow you to “turn on your brain.” So, let's get acquainted - a mysterious puzzle.

Lesson plan:

Where did the rebus come from?

A little history. Logical training of the mind came to us from France. There they were happy to solve them back in the 15th century; the Prussian King Frederick himself was not averse to flexing his brain.

The word is translated from Latin as “with the help of things.” And indeed, it is with the use of pictures of all sorts of objects, letters and numbers that puzzle lovers make riddles.

In 1582, the French even published the first collection, which introduced the whole of Europe to entertaining logic in pictures. In our native Russia, puzzles appeared only towards the end of the 19th century - we had no time to solve problems! Thanks to the Rebus magazine, they became one of the entertainments for the inhabitants of that era.

It turns out that the modern Russian rebus is already more than a hundred years old, and it is still just as popular, and improving the techniques used in “hide and seek” is an endless and limitless matter. New riddles today - a wide variety of “taste and color”, for those who are too smart and simpler.

What types of puzzles are there?

Words in logic riddles are encrypted in different ways.

The simplest drawn puzzles usually hide one or at most two words, they can be solved in “one-two-three”, but problems with three or more elements are much more difficult to solve, but even more interesting.

You can even write down sayings and proverbs, phrases and quatrains with rebuses! Imagine Pushkin's letter from Tatyana to Onegin in the form of pictures! That would be interesting! And how incredibly beautiful it would look!

And the puzzles will be excellent, beautiful and interesting addition for your school research projects. For example, like or .

Solving the unsolvable, or general rules for puzzles

If we combine all the decision rules logic puzzles put together, you get a special set that helps you choose the right path to the solution.

Each hidden word is divided into parts, depicted by a picture or using signs. These parts are usually read from left to right, but it happens the other way around and even from top to bottom.
The hidden lonely word is usually a noun in the singular nominative case. There are exceptions to the rules, but hints are given for this.
When a rebus is a whole sentence, then, of course, not only nouns live there, but also verbs, and adjectives, in general, other parts of speech. For such puzzles, the compilers specifically make instructions like “guess the proverb.”
The rebus must have one solution. If there are several of them, a reference is also made about this.

So, armed with a piece of paper and a pencil, we write out each guessed image, follow all the instructions for them, and add up the resulting parts. Voila! You have found the correct answer!

Now let’s go over the main types of puzzles and how to solve them.

Pictures with letters and numbers

There are several techniques that allow you to easily solve such problems:

Drawings with commas and signs.

Riddles with commas and pictures, as well as using other signs, they are also solved according to their own rules:

Letter puzzles

Often here the letters are drawn from different angles - inside each other, near, one under the other - all these are techniques that allow you to hide the hidden word:

Try your strength!

Have you studied the instructions for solving the puzzles? Now put the theory into practice! Here's a proverb:

How's it going? I'm waiting for answers in the comments!

Well, since we have worked hard, we need to have a good rest! Jumble! For everyone! We look and smile)

With this I say goodbye to you, I’ll also go and tell the puzzles and do exercises for the mind!

Always yours, Evgenia Klimkovich.
