However, a good charge for the mind is not only the solving of the puzzles, but also their compilation. Although today there are many computer programs that generate such puzzles in a matter of seconds, rebuses composed independently are always much more interesting and exciting.
Making a rebus is not as easy as it sounds. That the received riddle was not too simple, over its creation it is necessary to try. In addition, the composed puzzle must obey certain rules and recommendations, which must be taken into account during encryption. In this article we will tell you how to compose various puzzles, and give an example that will visually see the subtleties of creating such puzzles.
How to compose puzzles from words in pictures?
First of all, you need to select the word or phrase that you want to encrypt. Write it down on a sheet of paper with no spaces or punctuation marks - all letters and words should go one after another. Very carefully read several times written from left to right, and then - vice versa. Try to find familiar words consisting of 2-5 letters. Pay special attention to the coincidence of letter combinations with the names of notes, if any. In particular, you can compose a rebus using notes as shown in this figure:
Select the highlighted elements, markers, and make small callouts above or below the phrase to be encrypted. Try to depict the received words schematically, noting all possible variants of the formation of the riddle. After that, go back to the original phrase or word and select in it fragments that coincide with various pretexts, for example, "above", "y", "in", "under," and so on.
Pay attention to the fact that it is possible to encrypt a word in a rebus with the use of letters standing on one side of the preposition - "Nama", and on different ones, - "ANAM". Similarly, if available, check the fragments that match the words "gender", "pair" and "third". You can display them in the form of pictures in different ways, for example:
| | | |
Next, you have to go to the search for words that are part of the specified phrase in part. To do this, re-read the task several times from left to right and in reverse order in separate blocks of 2-3 letters in a row and try to find words that begin or end with these letters. Make callouts and mark with commas, how many letters in new words should be discarded. Note that in any word, not more than half the letters can be "discarded". For example:
| | | |
If you still have unencrypted items, you can replace them with images containing such letters in random order. In this case, you need to make the corresponding callout, number the letters and write them in the order in which you want to use. For example, the word "force" you can get from the concept of "fox", adding an image of this animal and writing next to it the sequence "3, 2, 1, 4":
To create a really good rebus, you can use no more than two elements such as this.
Finally, the final stage will be the selection of the most suitable elements and their encryption in the pictures. Suitable pictures you can draw by yourself or use for this different images from the Internet.
