Numbers and notes
Cryptograms with numbers almost never consist of numbers alone; as a rule, they are found in combination with pictures, letters, notes, and other things. In fact, the presence of numbers is an auxiliary factor that dictates the conditions for solving the rebus. How to solve puzzles with numbers:
- If there are numbers in different orders above the image of an object, this means that the letters of the depicted word are read in the specified order.
- If the numbers in a rebus are crossed out, then you need to remove from it those letters that correspond to the crossed out numbers.
Puzzles with notes may seem complicated to people who do not have a musical education and require special knowledge in order to solve them. They are partly right - in such puzzles, in most cases, they use the image of notes to indicate the corresponding syllables - “do”, “re”, “mi”, etc. And then you will have to remember your school music lessons and determine what kind of note is depicted in the rebus.
In some simplified cases, the image of a treble clef makes it clear that only the word “note” is involved.

How to learn to solve puzzles?
Step by step we will introduce you to examples of entertaining puzzles of different difficulty levels. We provide some of the tasks with answers and a description of the solution.
Once you have mastered all the material inside and out, you will be able to solve similar puzzles in one or two seconds.
Basic rules for reading puzzles
- Puzzles are read from left to right, in some cases – from top to bottom. There may be exceptions, which assignment writers can indicate with text or arrows.
- Punctuation marks and spaces are not taken into account. This rule is relevant for large and complex puzzles, in which a long word or an entire phrase is encrypted.
- Any picture or symbol in the encryption has meaning. Not a single comma or image is given in a rebus for nothing. The picture and symbol can represent the whole word or part of the word, depending on other conditions of the rebus.
- All words in the rebus are read in the nominative case, but you need to be careful with the singular and plural. If the picture shows a pair of legs, eyes, or several fruits, the author of the puzzle probably wants you to read the word in the plural.
- One of the most difficult tasks in a rebus is to understand “what did the author want to say?” In other words, interpret the picture correctly. In the picture you can “see” a dog, but the author could have thought of the word “dog” or even “Hachiko”. A boy with blond hair can be the word "boy" or the word "blonde".
- The solution to the puzzle is always the same! And if there are several, the author should warn you about this.
- Have you taken on the task of solving a large complex puzzle? Be prepared that it contains an encrypted sentence that will contain not only nouns, but also other parts of speech.
