In this delightfully puzzling episode, I dive into the whimsical, artful world of rebus letters—those clever messages made from pictures and symbols rather than words. From ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to 18th-century valentines, rebuses have long offered a way to say something meaningful without spelling it out. You’ll hear stories of love notes disguised as riddles, flirtations hidden in etchings, and how rebuses helped children (and adults) learn to read. Plus, I’ll share tips on how to write your own rebus letter, and tell you where to find my free Rebus Letter Guide, filled with 300+ ideas to get you started.
