Thanks you @Ian_Chimp and @WillC

Congratulations @WillC on the Clean Sweep and @littlespoons on your fine King Edward.

And yet again I’ve learnt something - I always thought a Cheetah was one of the “Big Cats”.

Oh well - hooray me and I’m having a glass of wine to celebrate :clinking_glasses:

Can you tell I answered it in a hurry :joy:. @Peitho i thought a cheetah was a big cat too. I also misunderstood the question about the Heinz condiments :woman_facepalming:

I’ve just realised I did the same thing! And in also annoyed I put Hexagonal instead of octagonal for the stop sign! I absolutely knew that just got my shapes confused in the excitement to answer :rofl::see_no_evil:

Literature Rebus-ing :puzzle_piece:   (Rebus XI)

Can you please tell me what these books are based on Rebus Clues of their titles? If you want to include the author as well even better but not required.

Answers here in reply to this thread please.

Thank you kindly and I hope you enjoy, I think these ones are somewhat easier than others I’ve set in the past so a ood one to start with if you’re not familiar with Rebus Puzzles.


Ooh forgot to tag a few regular players but obviously open to all and the more the welcome! Thanks for starting it off @WillC :grin:

Hmm, good to know - people like themes other than “Well Known Phrases”.

Well I appreciate you both having a go (and doing well). Have a chocolate bar each for your efforts.

70% (which is a University first class degree mark) @Craig1234 . An excellent result :+1:.

And between all of you 100%, though no individual 100% which is perfect from my point of view as means there’s no 1 individual really hard one.
