    $\begingroup$ There are so many super hard puzzles on this site that fairly often I have the urge to make slightly easier puzzles to provide something for those who don't like their brains to hurt. Also, it's fun to create these rebuses. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Very nice! What makes this rebus stand out is the imaginative choices of word pictured. Rather than giving pieces of the word, the subtractions make a word fall out unexpectedly, giving a great moment of surprise and confirmation. $\endgroup$
