Word Riddles Options

[Comptine]

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

[creole]

They're Word Scramples.

1. Eggs


The rest, I don't know, lol.

[Maccabee]

I dont get this?
The only options for the sencond are:

ldr
lrd
rdl
rld
dlr
drl

and none of them make sense.

[smash]

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

[manny-the-dino]

i thought these were called anagrams? o:

[Joanne]

Not really. An anagram is a word/phrase where the letters are rearranged to form another word/phrase. While some of these word riddles are kind of like that, not all of them are.

I'm sure there is another name for these word riddles though. =\
