What is the name for this specific type of brain teaser?
I’m looking for the actual name of the brain puzzles that are written in a square. There are usually a few words inside it, and you have to figure out what the phrase is (you have to look at the size of the words, if they are repeated, their position in the box, etc). Here are some examples of the type of puzzle I’m talking about: http://www.joe-ks.com/outside/Outside_The_Box_Puzzle.htm.
I thought as a kid that I had a book of them, and their name started with an “R.” I’ve searched online to see if I can find what they’re called, and I can’t find it! Do you know? Thanks!
Sorry, I guess the link doesn’t work…
