| I thought it might mean crossing planes, but your version is good to.  |

| Good rebus !!
And mostly *visual*, which is what I think good rebiiii should be. |

Jan 20, 2006
| Awww, I didn't get this one, and I just loooove rebi! But! When I'm sad I can always find something to complain about! I thought it wasn't explain because you had an X made of PLANE, so I thought it would have PLANE in the answer.
But, if I had guessed it I wouldn't have said anything, LOL! Good one, thanks!!! |
shawneeo
Jan 20, 2006
| I mean it said PLANE instead of PLAIN. sorry! |
smee
Jan 20, 2006
| I agree with Shawneeo... it should have been PLAIN formed into an X. This teaser wasn't quite fair because of that deception. That's why I didn't get it. |

kimberlykay
Jan 20, 2006
| I also agree with Shawneeo and Smee. It was a little deceptive and I could only think of cross plane. It definitely should have been PLAIN and not Plane in order for the answer to correctly represent the rebus. Otherwise, good job! |

| It was a very good teaser.
I don't think that PLANE should have to be PLAIN. In a picture rebus an image of a bee is often used for either "B" or "be." We (very much me included because I actually thought "X-PLANE...?" several times in my head) just ought to start talking out loud to our computers! If I'd said it out loud, I would have heard the answer and got the teaser right!
Great teaser! |

Jan 20, 2006
| actually smee, i have to disagree with you, that would have just made the darn thing that much more easier. i think it was a farely good one. and plane or plain, i really dont think it matters all that much. |

ejj1955
Jan 20, 2006
| I thought this might be "plane crash" or "intersecting planes" (geometry). I have to agree with those who found the spelling a bit of a red herring. |
vlerma
Jan 20, 2006
| I wasn't playing with a full deck as I guess I didn't see rebus. So here I go trying to find P plus 7 letters & then another P. I didn't even understand the clue, the hyphens didn't mean anything. Gosh, do I ever feel dumb. But I did come up with commA for #3 and ElsewherE for #5. Great C++Man. Next time I 'll read closer. |

| Jacstop; i am only a spanish student so i am just asking- i thought it was "gusta" unless you're trying to say "i would like it a lot"
let me know,k?? |
FulanitoGM
Jan 20, 2006
| You guys are going to laugh; I came up with "plain sight." I didn't get hung up on the spelling of "plane" vs. "plain," but I saw the "X" formed by the 2 "planes," and I thought of a sight on a gun (they're usually crosshairs like a "+" but I didn't remember that until afterwards). Not a bad guess, right? Good teaser... |
Angelli

I agree there should have been an "I" in plane. |

Jan 22, 2006
| Great. Thank you. I did not see the X until I got up, when I sat back down, there it was. Wonderful. |

| I thought it was Cross Plains, a location in Indiana, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and in my home state of Texas. |

karenokupniak

| I thought it was "crossing the plains" as in settlers heading west kind of thing. |

| This is a direct quote from the teaser submission guidelines:
"Please do not submit teasers that rely on spaces to format letters in a graphical way. Because of the way HTML works, every viewer can have a different font, and the spacing will be different for each one. Teasers that rely on text spacing will not reproduce well for other users. Any teaser that uses ... or --- or spaces to make the puzzle will be rejected. These teasers will not be approved even if they are good teasers."
How did this one get through? |
craniac
Jan 20, 2009
| I thought the answer was "the intersection of two planes", as in geometry. |
bradon182001
Jan 20, 2009
| I didn't get it, and when I read the answer I still had to think about it for a minute before it sunk in. Good rebus. Thanks for posting. |
davidrools
Jan 20, 2009
| at first I was thinking Star Wars and the X-Wing fighter planes...that or "crossing planes" in math/calculus. Explane to explain is a bit of a stretch in a rebus. |

kwelchans

| Those of you complaining about the whole plain/plane thing need to get over it. Similar or same sounds is a commonly used device in rebuses (rebi?). I liked this one. |
avonma
Jan 20, 2009
| I didn't get it, either. I kept trying to make it "crossed" something, like "crossed swords." But that wouldn't work. And "crossed planes" didn't work either. |

gaylewolf

| I rarely read the hint, so I didn't know the hypphens meant nothing. I was trying to find letters that would fit in the spaces and make words. And my FIRST thought was planes taking off and landing  Xplain seemed pretty simple when I read the answer! That was a teaser, alright!! Thanks |
gaylewolf
Jan 20, 2012
| The double P in hyphens means nothing, too! |
cutebug 
Jan 20, 2012
| As soon as I saw the word plane shaped like as a x and the title describe,the answer was very obvious. |
eamon
Jan 20, 2012
| What you've drawn is really X- Planes - like the term for experimental aircraft (X-1, X-15 etc). EXPLAINS could be done like that too but you shouldn't mislead by using a different spelling. Also Crossing the plains...
Too clumsy. No vote. |

phyllisa

| I got this one right away! |
lukasiwicz
Jan 21, 2012
| Got it instantly, but doubted the correctness of my answer because the spelling was "PLANE" instead of "PLAIN," and I could think of no good reason why the former spelling had been chosen. |
dalfamnest 
Feb 26, 2012
| I wonder if the spelling is that way because to line up PLAIN with hyphens would have been even more difficult with the 'I' there ...  |
