how to work the puzzler

In the past, I made the following visual puzzle:











Three images to represent phonetic chunks of (in this case) one word.



Using the Latin in the first image, one could quickly use their magical Google powers to figure out that this is related to The Isle of Man.

The second image, most people are familiar with. Nothing like mass marketing of an anti-corporate rebel icon across the USA on t-shirts for kids. Che Guevara.

The third image is of a traffic light. A green traffic light.




So if you were piecing together the word, the puzzle says you should go with a few phonetic choices (it helps to say them aloud): isle, man; che, maybe something military; and then light or green or go.


The phonetic sequence has the added layer of someone playing charades, pulling on their earlobe, designating a "sounds like" while you process the photos and their phonetic possibilities.


Now, this puzzle I am describing for you here is for just one word. The puzzle in my previous entry was for a whole phrase (a quote!). When a phrase happens, there is an extra layer of puzzling because something like an indefinite article may or may not be included in the photos phonetically, even if it is in the phrase. Something like "THE" would be rather silly to represent in pictures, although I suppose I could post a foreign box of tea and be done with it (but then that would be confusing- do I mean a phonetic TEE or just THE? So I leave that stuff out.



I hope this example of phonetic processing is at least somewhat helpful, and that you don't give up (quitter). Just think of the sense of achievement you'll feel if you actually make it to the finish line with one of my puzzles.


I will post the answer to the above, one-word example in the comments section.
Feel free to ask questions, if you have any, about the process. Or voice your disgust (jerk).
