These rebuses aren’t original but I quite liked them when I first saw them so I’ll share them here. The first 2 are probably well known, but the last one is slightly more challenging.

  1. abcdefghijklmnopqstuvwxyz

  2. hijklmno

  3. enter image description here

*Note that none of the images belong to me.

    $\begingroup$ Has a rebus trend started while I've been away? Can't say I'm not pleased about it! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I like to keep a folder for puzzle ideas/nice puzzles - and to be honest, rebuses are easier to come up with than other ones in my opinion. $\endgroup$

For number 3, I believe it's

Because

bonnet - net = bon

  • $\begingroup$ I don't think bon relates to chemistry in any way. But I've a feeling you might be the first one to get the hardest one before any of the others. $\endgroup$
