Test your game skills with these 9 picture puzzles

To solve these rebus brainteasers, add up the icons, symbols and letters to identify the Ohio State-themed answers. 

Think of kids sounding out words when they are learning to read. Rebus puzzles work similarly, but instead of stringing together syllables made of letters, they rely on things — pictures, symbols, alignment and letters — that sound the same. Their name comes from the Latin phrase non verbis, sed rebus, meaning “not by words, but by picture.”
