Communication and Context

What familiar phrase or title does each of the lines represent?

You have to say each one outloud for it to work.

  1. Egg, no, rinses, blitz
  2. False, Peter, head
  3. Echo, redig, curried, hog
  4. Dad, mental, note, ales
  5. Abe, eyesore, kill, belt, fat, who

Got em. They can be tricky, because you have to adjust your pronunciation to fit the line.

How I Would Use This

Context. Out of context we don't know what we are looking for. But hints that give us context help us prepare to work out the puzzle. When we set people up for learning by setting the scene, learning can be a lot faster.

Hints - use only if you are stumped.











1. Ignorance is bliss.
2. Full speed ahead.
3. Hickory, Dickory Dock
4. Dead men tell no tales.
5. A bicycle built for two
