say you have a game. you see two words, one says COVER and under that word is COP. it means undercover cop. another one would be i/8. in that exact form, and it means I over ate. last one is the number 22 over the word ARIZONA. that means tuson, arizona. those puzzles have a certain name. its not conundrum, so what are they called??

REBUS-
WUZZLES (perhaps a brand name) are Word pUZZLES consisting of combinations of words, letters, figures or symbols positioned to create disguised words, phrases, names, places, sayings etc.
This type of puzzle is called a rebus -- a word and symbol puzzle that dates back more than 2,000 years to the Persian Empire.

I acutally read your question because I thought you were going to explain to me what a conundrum is. I've always wondered but never enough to look it up...now I'm going to have to. THANKS ALOT! J/P....I was serious about the first part....playing about the "thanks alot".
