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 |

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 |
