Thanks for all the replies. I won't have the answer till maybe two weeks so keep guessing(I don't know the answer myself that's why I asked)
There's no other clue but those letters in lower case and it says Rebus puzzle:
It's probably something very easy or very stupid, I can't wait to see what it is, :)
e i l m n p t
re·bus
n., pl. -bus·es.
A representation of words in the form of pictures or symbols, often presented as a puzzle.
rebus
Enigmatical representation of a name, or graphic pun on the name of a person connected with a building, usually in the carved ornamentation, as in the Alcock Chantry Chapel in Ely Cathedral, Cambs. (14881501), with its many representations of cockerels.
Example:
all
board
answer, "all above board"
cut and paste it incorrectly though and you would have:
Puzzle:
all board
Answer, "all beside board" which doesn't make sense.
So you can't present a rebus puzzle without the original graphic, need an URL to where you saw it posted. I supposed "Spaced out Letters" might be valid.
Aha,
http://school.discoveryedu
Perhaps filling each blank with a missing letter will give a valid phrase but that's not a Rebus Puzzle.
>>Is that so, rpggamergirl ?<<
Could be, I don't really know sorry.
>>Perhaps filling each blank with a missing letter will give a valid phrase but that's not a Rebus Puzzle.<<
Whether it's a Rebus puzzle or not, I did not want to leave anything out and that's what it said. When this puzzle was handed to me, it was a one whole page along with 14 other puzzles(some in diagrams) and it was Titled "Rebus Puzzle" and this is the only one that I wasn't sure of, which I just answered "alphabetical Templin"
Unfortunately I won't get the answer till the end of this term.
The other puzzles were very obvious like the below "3 blind mice":
MCE
MCE
MCE
"Head over Heels":
HEAD
HEELS
"extended family":
FAMILYYYY
"Too intense":
10
10 2 10
10
"No one to blame":
1.
2. blame
3. blame
"one in a million":
M1LLION
"out to lunch":
EXIT LUNCH
LUNCH
I'm very sorry everyone, I'm sick of waiting for them they never got to me, so I just distributed the points to all who replied(hope I didn't miss anyone). I know it's not much at all, if only I can give you all big points I would, :)
Thanks to all of you, and sorry I still haven't gotten the answer from them.
Next time I post a puzzle, I'll make sure I know the answer, it'll be fun then.
"Tomorrow" never came... so here's my deepest apology.
Please forgive me...
The one who organized the puzzle competition is gone, I still don't know the answer(probably never will)
Thank you all for participating.
@RobinD:
It was always my intention to come back at the time ... but real-life got in the way, sorry.
*Maybe the asker is just a 'scatter-brain' and that person from the school is a twit*

What language is the word in ? I assume English ?
Is that all the letters, or can we add letters (if so, "tumpline")
