Dingbats 12

Another in our series of "Dingbats" style rounds, this handout round features 10 images that use letters, words and symbols in a particular way to cryptically describe well known phrases. The aim for teams in your quiz is to work out what these phrases are.

The following image shows an example, where the correct answer is "put on weight". This is because the word "put" is "on" the word "ton", which is an example of a weight.

All of the phrases are well known and as an added clue the number of words in each phrase is given. Some clues are fairly straightforward, but some require a lot of lateral thinking and that could have teams puzzling over them for some time.

It is recommended that this round is used in your quiz as a handout round. You can find more information on handout rounds and our recommended use for them in quizzes on our handout rounds page.

Please note that this handout round also appears in Weekly Quiz 721.
