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

You got the second one right, Ashley. Joanne, you got the first one right. It was actually "split second timing" but close enough.

1) 1.
2. blame
3. blame
2) FAMILYYYYYY
