Rebus Answers

The occasional puzzle (usually on Thursday or Sunday) will require you to enter multiple letters into a single square, which is called a rebus.

Each daily mini is available for players the evening before the puzzle's publish date. Weekday and Saturday puzzles are available at 10 p.m. EST the previous day. Sunday puzzles are available at 6 p.m. EST on Saturday.

You can play the New York Times Crossword puzzle at nytimes.com/games, in the The New York Times Games app (iOS and Android), and in the Play tab of the New York Times News app.

Since we don't have rebus clues in Puzzle Society crosswords yet, we'll rely on how The New York Times operates, which is to select the square that requires a rebus. Then click the “Rebus” button in the toolbar above the grid that'll open up a field where you can enter more than one letter.

The crosswords are designed to increase in difficulty throughout the week, with the easiest on Monday and the most difficult on Saturday. The larger Sunday crossword, which appears in The New York Times Magazine, is an icon in American culture; it is typically intended to be a "Thursday-plus" in difficulty.

A rebus puzzle has one or more squares in the grid containing a multi-letter word that represent a particular picture. For example a puzzle might contain the word crossroads where cross is all in one square. Optionally the square can also represented by a picture, e.g. of a cross.

An example that illustrates the Rebus principle is the representation of the sentence "I can see you" by using the pictographs of "eye—can—sea—ewe".

Each puzzle should be read from top to bottom, left to right. The sounds indicated by the pictures are not always direct hom*ophones for the answer. For example, the images of LLL, a boy, and a chin could combine together to make Hell's Kitchen even though the sounds aren't quite exact.

Asterisks, which are also called stars when they are included in crossword clues, are a fairly common feature in puzzles. They typically indicate that the clue and its answer are part of the theme.
