Rebus


A rebus is a code or reference where pictures, letters, or symbols represent certain words or phrases. Perhaps the simplest and most common rebus in use today is “IOU” for “I owe you.”

 

Red Herring


A red herring is a misleading clue. It’s a trick used by storytellers to keep the reader guessing about what’s really going on.
