Let’s solve each rebus puzzle one by one. A rebus puzzle uses pictures, words, or letters to represent a phrase or word — often through puns, positions, or visual tricks.

---

Puzzle 1 (already solved):
“EGGS” over “EASY” → “Eggs over Easy” → sounds like “Easy as eggs”? Wait — actually, it’s “Eggs over Easy” which is a play on “Easy does it”? No — let’s think again.

Actually, the example says:
> EGGS
> EASY
→ Answer: Eggs over Easy

But that doesn’t sound right as a common phrase. Wait — maybe it’s meant to be read as “Eggs *over* Easy” meaning “Eggs are over easy” — but that’s not a standard idiom.

Hold on — perhaps it’s a homophone trick. “Eggs over Easy” sounds like “It’s over easy”? Still not quite.

Wait — maybe it’s “Easy as pie”? No.

Actually, looking at the layout: “EGGS” is above “EASY”. So “Eggs over Easy” — and that’s given as the answer. But that’s not a real phrase. Hmm.

Perhaps it’s a misdirection. Let’s look at the next ones — maybe we can figure out the pattern.

---

Puzzle 2:
MAN
BOARD

“Man” over “board” → Man overboard! That’s a common phrase used when someone falls off a ship.

So this one is straightforward: position matters. Word on top + word on bottom = “[Top] over [Bottom]”

So Puzzle 1: EGGS over EASY → “Eggs over Easy” — but that’s not a real phrase. Unless… wait — maybe it’s supposed to be “Over easy” as in fried eggs? Like “eggs over easy” is a way to cook eggs? Actually, yes! In cooking, “over easy” means fried eggs flipped once with runny yolk. So “Eggs over easy” is a valid culinary term — though not an idiom. Maybe the puzzle accepts that.

But let’s keep going — maybe the pattern is consistent.

---

Puzzle 3:
JACKET (in yellow)
[blank below]

Only one word: “JACKET”, colored yellow.

What could this mean?

Think: “Yellow jacket” — that’s a thing! A yellow jacket is a type of wasp, or a raincoat.

Since the word “JACKET” is written in yellow ink, it’s hinting at “Yellow jacket”.

So answer: Yellow jacket

---

Puzzle 4:
MOON (in blue)

Similarly, “Moon” written in blue.

What phrase has “blue moon”? → “Once in a blue moon” — but here it’s just “blue moon”.

Alternatively, “Blue moon” is a known term for the second full moon in a month.

But since only “MOON” is shown in blue, likely the answer is simply “Blue moon”

Answer: Blue moon

---

Puzzle 5:
FOOT
[long line underneath]

“Foot” with a long line under it.

What does a long line under “foot” suggest?

Maybe “footnote”? Because a footnote is text at the bottom (under) the page — and “foot” + “note” (the line might represent writing/note).

But there’s no “note” written — just a line.

Alternatively, “foot” with a line under it — could be “under foot”? Or “foot under”?

Wait — think visually: if you have “FOOT” and then a long horizontal line beneath it, it looks like the word is sitting on a line — so maybe “Foot note”? But again, no “note”.

Another idea: “Foot” + underline = “Underline the foot”? Not helpful.

Wait — what if the line represents “ground” or “floor”? Then “foot on ground”? Not a phrase.

Alternatively, think of idioms: “Put your foot down” — but no downward arrow.

Wait — here’s a better idea: In typography or writing, a line under a word can mean emphasis — but that doesn’t help.

Another angle: “Foot” with a line under it — could be interpreted as “foot-note” because footnotes appear at the bottom (under) the main text.

Yes — that makes sense. The line represents the baseline where footnotes sit.

So answer: Footnote

---

Puzzle 6:
FRY (small, in lower right corner of box)

The word “FRY” is tiny and placed in the bottom-right corner of the square.

What does small size + position suggest?

“Small fry” — that’s a phrase! Meaning unimportant people or things.

Also, “fry” being small literally matches “small fry”.

And its position in the corner might emphasize insignificance.

Answer: Small fry

---

Now let’s double-check all answers:

1. EGGS over EASY → Given as “Eggs over Easy” — we’ll accept that as is (culinary term).
2. MAN over BOARD → Man overboard
3. JACKET in yellow → Yellow jacket
4. MOON in blue → Blue moon
5. FOOT with line under → Footnote
6. FRY small in corner → Small fry

All make sense as common phrases or terms.

Final Answers:

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
Man overboard
Yellow jacket
Blue moon
Footnote
Small fry
