PS: (To the OP) There's a name for these puzzles - they are called rebuses.

For some reason we call them dingbats in The Netherlands

You have puzzled the puzzler with that one. I had in mind a breakfast treat.

Scrambled eggs, not es in g's.

Dingbats! I love it.
 


Rebus is different. In a rebus, actual pictures take the place of words like:
[eye] [heart] [ewe] where each word in brackets is replaced by a picture, is a rebus for "I love you".

Are (u) you missing?

That's one example of a rebus. The definition of a rebus that I'm aware of allows you to use either pictures or symbols (letters count as symbols) to construct phrases. But in present day rebuses, a broader set of tricks seem to be allowed.

See:

Andre, I was going for "missing you" but that's close enough.

No I'm right here :wink:. Just feeling disordered, as usual.

I'm thinking it's more like: in alphabetical order.

quite right, how about:

charlie hotel echo charlie kilo

Code: 
f      o       r       m

se se se se
se storm se
se se se se

m
day

moorhtab

-cule



These are still open:

o ne

and
hint: something not there again

acts

Some attempts:

spell check, long form, ? , monday, (some kind of backwards bathroom?), ? , ? , ? , disappearing acts
 
chicken call ?

open forum ?

bathroom mirror


blue monday

miniscule


stormy seas ?


not one left

wild guess for and = Christmas eve ?

I'm pretty sure Gokul43201 got the last one--or vanishing acts

What! how about singing scrambled eggs!?
 


charlie hotel echo charlie kilo
Right Gokul

Code: 
f      o       r       m
close but it's a familiar term - millions of google hits.

se se se se
se storm se
se se se se
No, hint: count.

m
day

moorhtab

-cule
Right, Rewebster

o ne
Hint: on e gets to the same expression

and

hint: bold and ... ?

acts
Right, Gokul.
 
expanded form


intense storm



for 'o ne' banana or split personality

beautiful ?

First two yes,

o ne
What other synonym can we use for that space?

and
Hint: the missing word is negating itself, otherwise I could not leave it out.
 
rewebster said:
there's only one opening

Still another synonym. The expression in parenthesis gives over two million hits in google. People are elated when they did it.

a hole in one
That's pretty tortured if you ask me.
 
Andre said:

and

bold and no-ble

hmmm...


I'm still not getting it---can you do a quick 'explain, please'?
