Work Hard
Rebus brain teasers use words or letters in interesting orientations to represent common phrases.
What is this famous saying?
zain yain xain wain vain uain tain sain rain qain oain nain main lain kain jain iain hain fain eain dain cain bain aain
HintWhat is missing?

Answer
No pain, no gain
In a backwards sequence, every alphabetical letter comes with the suffix "ain" except "p" and "g" and hence "no p-ain", "no g-ain".

| It took me a bit but I figured it out when I noticed it was the alphabet backwards. I went through it and noticed there was no gain and then there was no pain. I didn't need the hint but it still took me a minute or so. Awesome teaser. I plan on sending this one to my hubby and seeing if he can get it. I love it when I get them and he can't.  |

| Good one. I didn't realize any of the letters were missing until I read the hint, THEN it was pretty simple for me.  |

| Even with the explanation, it took me a minute. I need to work on this kind of teaser more.  |

| Loved it. I got half way there, and just couldn't get the final answer. Missing p and g was as far as I got.  |

| Fun but I got it too quickly
Must have been my kind of puzzle
I always read left to right, but
then check the other direction.
Thumb through magazines back
to front. Weird
Thanks Rose Good One  |

| I got it!!! It was not too hard once I realized the G was missing and I thought "gain". Good teaser. |

| NICE!
I figured out the sequence immediately, and figured they were all there, then I read the hint and got the answer.

| I got it as soon as I read the hint. This was really good--and it's the first time I saw it. I really don't mind repeats--don't we listen to the same songs over and over! And I love to watch the reruns on TV-land! I've even read some books more than once!  |

| I'm with you Icann. Loved this one, and got it right this time.  |

Jul 20, 2010
| Three years ago I got this w/o the hint! This time I didn't remember having seen it before, nor did I have the patience to get it on my own. With the hint I did get it right away--great fun, again! Wordmama will become a grandma this winter--older and fuzzier-brained!  |
