1$\begingroup$ So, Which of the answers is correct?? $\endgroup$– SidCommented Aug 18, 2016 at 11:11

$\begingroup$ @Sid based on the phrasing of the question and the low rep of the poster, I'm going to guess that this was a legitimate "solve this for me, please" question and the correct answer is unknown to the poster. $\endgroup$– Ian MacDonaldCommented Aug 18, 2016 at 15:43

I think it's meant to indicate the single word
THROWBACK.

$\begingroup$ I'd have went with two words, the second ending "wards" $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 17, 2016 at 10:48

6$\begingroup$ This belongs to a class of puzzles where a common word or phrase is indicated punningly and kinda diagrammatically. The puzzle is to work out what the word or phrase is. They often involve elements like OVER, UNDER, BACK, OUT, IN, etc., which for the purpose of the puzzle get applied to other parts of the word-or-phrase. In this case, we've taken THROW and written it BACKwards, to indicate the word THROWBACK (meaning someone or something that seems to belong in an earlier time). $\endgroup$– Gareth McCaughan ♦Commented Aug 17, 2016 at 10:57

$\begingroup$ Such a puzzle is called a rebus. Have fun on Google images. :) $\endgroup$– i-CONICACommented Aug 17, 2016 at 15:42

It would be
"Worth" and some one mistyped it as "Worht"

1$\begingroup$ Welcome to Puzzling. It is a good first try, you could have said "Not Worth" :) $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 18, 2016 at 13:42

It could be
misplaced values
because it's
the word "worth" with the last two letters placed wrong.
