Does anyone remember those word riddles where you have to figure the phrase by how the word is written? What exactly are they called?

Examples:

1) GESG

2) RLD

3) 2THDK

They're Word Scramples.

1. Eggs


The rest, I don't know, lol. whistling.gif

The only options for the sencond are:

ldr
lrd
rdl
rld
dlr
drl

and none of them make sense.

i think the 1st and 2nd ones are phrases. like 2THDK might be something like to the...? i don't know. am i on the right path?
Comptine
The examples I gave are puzzles. The way they are written is a clue to what the phrase is.

I guess I'll do them:

1) GESG = scrambled eggs
2) RLD = end of the woRLD
3) 2THDK = tooth decay

I knew what you were talking about after but your wording in the OP was a bit confusing.
