Wow I don't get it. What's the answer?

 

[Duzza]

i dont really understand what these are

Well, for example 24 hours= a day. ALL is inside the sentence. So ALL in a day's work.

It's meant to be bricks, surrounding 'jail' bars, with the sun inside.

Sun=Solar, and jail bars make up a cell. Solar Cell. Pretty bad eh

They're called rebus puzzles.

Thanks/Thanks Nuke. Your no.1 is Head over heels.

no.3 has something to do with line up?

I didn't even notice Nuke's answer the first time around, sorry for reiterating that.

As for #3, yes, it's something to do with line up, and take note of the specific ordering of the letters.

 

[Nuke]

3 = line up in alphabetical order.

 

[Nuke]

4 = tennis shoes (ten issues)

 

[Nuke]

2 isn't too difficult, but I'll let someone else go.

I've heard them called "snigglets". There are many books of them. Some clever ... some dumb.

[Nuke]

Sniglets (in the books by Rich Hall, anyway) are made-up words that aren't in the dictionary, but should be. These puzzles aren't sniglets in that sense.
