Step-by-step solution for: Brain Teasers: Hidden Meaning Part By Teach Simple, 55% OFF
Let’s go through each box one by one and figure out the hidden meaning or common saying.
---
Box 1: “HOROBOD” → Robin Hood
The word is written with “ROBO” inside “H...D”. So it’s like “Robo” is *inside* “Hood” — but actually, it’s “Robin Hood” because “ROBO” sounds like “Robin”, and it’s placed between H and D → H + ROBO + D = HOROBOD → Robin Hood.
Wait — actually, looking again: It says “HOROBOD” and below it says “Robin Hood”. The trick is that “ROBO” is in the middle of “H” and “D”, so it’s “H-ROBO-D” → which sounds like “Robin Hood” (since “Robo” ≈ “Robin”). But maybe it’s just a visual pun — “Robin” is hidden inside “Hood”? Actually, no — let’s read it as: “H O R O B O D” — if you take letters 2–5: O R O B — not helpful. Maybe it’s “Robin” spelled backwards? No. Actually, the answer given is “Robin Hood”, so we accept that the puzzle is designed to hint at that phrase visually or phonetically.
But since this is an ANSWER sheet, we don’t need to solve — we’re verifying or understanding why each answer fits.
Actually — wait! The user uploaded the ANSWERS sheet. So all the answers are already provided. Our job is to explain how each rebus leads to its answer.
So let’s treat this as explaining the logic behind each rebus puzzle.
---
We’ll go row by row, left to right.
---
Row 1:
1. HOROBOD → Robin Hood
- Look at the word: H O R O B O D
- If you look closely, “ROBO” is in the middle, surrounded by H and D → H + ROBO + D
- “Robo” sounds like “Robin”, and “H...D” suggests “Hood” → So “Robin Hood”
2. wheel wheel wheel drive / Four wheel drive
- There are three “wheel” words stacked, then “drive” next to them.
- That’s 3 wheels + drive → but the answer is “Four wheel drive”
- Wait — actually, there are FOUR instances: three “wheel” and one “drive”? No — look:
It says:
```
wheel
wheel
wheel drive
```
So that’s three “wheel” and then “wheel drive” — total four “wheel” mentions? Not quite.
Actually, it’s arranged so that “wheel” appears three times vertically, and “drive” is beside the bottom one → implying “four-wheel drive” because there are four components? Or perhaps it’s “three wheels + drive = four-wheel drive”?
Better interpretation: The phrase is “Four wheel drive”, and the image shows “wheel” repeated three times above “wheel drive” — so altogether, it’s emphasizing “four wheels” driving → hence “Four wheel drive”.
3. noonT → Afternoon tea
- “noon” followed by a capital T → “noon T”
- Sounds like “afternoon tea” — because “noon” is part of “afternoon”, and “T” stands for “tea” → So “afternoon tea”
4. g n f i i s h → Fishing hook
- Letters arranged vertically: g, n, f, i, i, s, h
- If you read down: g-n-f-i-i-s-h → doesn’t spell anything.
- But notice: “fishing” has those letters? Let’s rearrange: f-i-s-h-i-n-g → yes! All letters are there: f, i, s, h, i, n, g → spells “fishing”
- And the arrangement looks like a hook? The letters are staggered — maybe forming a hook shape?
- Answer is “Fishing hook” — so the word “fishing” is hidden in the letters, and the layout resembles a hook.

Row 2:
5. T O U C H (vertical) → Touch down
- The letters T-O-U-C-H are written vertically downward.
- “Touch” going down → “Touch down”
6. S T O N E (with N and E indented) → Corner stone
- S T O
N
E
- So “STONE” is broken, with N and E shifted right → looks like they’re in the corner → “Corner stone”
7. love sight sight sight → Love at first sight
- “love” then three “sight”
- First “sight” after “love” → “Love at first sight”
8. the king woods → Hiking in the woods
- “king” is bolded or emphasized? In the text it says “the king woods”
- “King” sounds like “hiking”? No — wait, “king” → if you say “in the king woods” → but answer is “Hiking in the woods”
- Ah! “King” is a homophone for “hiking”? Not really.
- Actually, look: “the king woods” — if you replace “king” with “hiking”, it becomes “the hiking woods” → close to “hiking in the woods”
- Or perhaps “king” is meant to be “in the” — no.
- Another idea: “king” → “K” sound, but “hiking” starts with H.
- Wait — maybe it’s a play on words: “the king” → “theking” → sounds like “the king” but if you mishear, “hiking”? Not strong.
- Actually, in rebuses, sometimes “king” represents “K”, but here it’s likely that “king” is meant to be replaced with “hiking” because they rhyme? King and hiking don’t rhyme.
- Perhaps it’s “in the woods” and “king” is a red herring? No.
- Let me check standard rebus puzzles: Often “king” can mean “ruler”, but here the answer is “Hiking in the woods”.
- Insight: “king” → if you add “hi” before it? “Hi king” → “hiking”? Yes! “Hi” + “king” = “hiking”
- So “the [hi+king] woods” → “the hiking woods” → interpreted as “Hiking in the woods”
---
Row 3:
9. B BOW W → Crossbow
- B, then BOW, then W → so B + BOW + W
- But “crossbow” — how?
- Notice: “BOW” is in the middle, with B on left and W on right → so it’s like B over W? Or crossing?
- Actually, “B” and “W” are on sides of “BOW” — so “B” cross “W” with “BOW” in middle → “Crossbow”
10. choice choice choice choice → Multiple choice
- Four “choice” words → multiple choices → “Multiple choice”
11. I’ll get it → I’ll get over it
- “I’ll get” above “it” → so “get” is over “it” → “get over it” → “I’ll get over it”
12. Cloud with “check” raining down → Raincheck
- Cloud raining the word “check” multiple times → “rain” + “check” = “Raincheck”
---
Row 4:
13. agent agent (one faded) → Double agent
- Two “agent” words, one is lighter/faded → suggests two agents, one hidden or double → “Double agent”
14. noon good → Good afternoon
- “noon” and “good” — rearranged or combined: “good” + “afternoon” (since noon is part of afternoon) → “Good afternoon”
15. s i t s i t s i t (arranged in triangle) → Sit ups
- Three sets of “s i t” arranged in a triangular/upward pattern → “sit” repeated, and “ups” because they’re going up? Or “sit-ups” as in exercise.
- Specifically, the letters are arranged to look like someone doing sit-ups? Or just “sit” three times → “sit ups”
16. I’m1,23 U → I’m counting on you
- “I’m” then numbers 1,2,3 then “U”
- 1,2,3 = counting → “I’m counting on you” (“on” implied by position? Or “U” means “you”)
- So “I’m [counting 1,2,3] on U” → “I’m counting on you”
---
All answers match the rebus clues when interpreted creatively with wordplay, positioning, homophones, or visual arrangements.
Final Answer:
The completed worksheet correctly matches each rebus puzzle to its corresponding idiom or expression as follows:
1. HOROBOD → Robin Hood
2. wheel wheel wheel drive → Four wheel drive
3. noonT → Afternoon tea
4. g n f i i s h → Fishing hook
5. T O U C H (vertical) → Touch down
6. S T O N E (cornered) → Corner stone
7. love sight sight sight → Love at first sight
8. the king woods → Hiking in the woods
9. B BOW W → Crossbow
10. choice ×4 → Multiple choice
11. I’ll get it → I’ll get over it
12. Cloud raining "check" → Raincheck
13. agent agent (faded) → Double agent
14. noon good → Good afternoon
15. s i t arranged upward → Sit ups
16. I’m1,23 U → I’m counting on you
