Daily Rebus Puzzle — Two Pictures, One Word

Rebus is the daily picture puzzle: two little hand-drawn pixel pictures that smash together into a single word. STAR + FISH is the tutorial example; the daily ones get slyer — sometimes the pictures are the word's halves, sometimes they're a pun on how it sounds.

You get three guesses, typed as one word. Miss twice and a hint appears — the game deciding you've earned a nudge, not you spending one. Solve it on your very first guess and the day is a clean ace; with the hint or a retry it still counts. The pictures are hand-authored pixel art, drawn in the same style as everything else on Blip Party — no two days feel stamped from a template.

How the daily Rebus works

  1. 1.Read the pictures

    Two pixel images, joined by a plus sign. Name each one to yourself first — literally, out loud if you have to — because the answer is almost always those two names welded together or bent into a sound-alike.

  2. 2.Type one word

    Answers are a single word, no spaces. Spelling counts but close variants are accepted where they're fair — the game is about seeing the mash-up, not spelling-bee precision.

  3. 3.Three guesses, hint after two

    A wrong guess stays on the board so you don't repeat it. After the second miss, a written hint appears. First-guess solves score the clean ace; hint-assisted solves count in yellow; three misses reveals the answer and takes the day as a miss.

Tips

  • Say the two picture names aloud in both orders — half of all rebus answers only click when heard, not seen.
  • If a picture could be two things (a boat? a ship?), try the guess that makes a real compound word first.
  • Don't burn guess two on a variant spelling of guess one. A different reading of the pictures is worth more than the same reading spelled differently.
  • The hint after two misses usually describes the answer, not the pictures — re-read the images through it.

When does a new rebus come out?
Every day at 00:00 UTC, the same puzzle for everyone.
