Free Picture Puzzles

Study each original illustration and guess the idiom, saying, phrase, or compound word it represents.

How this puzzle collection works

PictoPuns turns familiar language into literal illustrated scenes. Unlike many text-only rebuses and dingbats, the central clue is a picture, although all three formats belong to the same broad family of visual word puzzles.

Every puzzle below has a permanent answer page with two hints, a literal explanation, the figurative meaning, and an example sentence.
