Rebus is a puzzle consisting of pictures.
The word "rebus" comes from the Latin res (thing) and denotes representation of names, words and phrases by a images, figures, composition of letters, etc. This word came from the Latin phrase "Non verbis sed rebus", which means "Without words, but with the help of things".
The pictures in the crossword:
1. The letter «w» in the letter «D».
2. The image of an owl and comma to the right of it.
The solution of the rebus:
1. «w» in «D» is WIND.
2. The word "owl" without the last letter (comma to the right of the figure requires to remove one letter) gives us OW.
The answer to the rebus:
WINDOW

Intricate - didn't get it without the help. (mark by the owl is an apostrophe, not a comma, but that usually represents a missing letter, not an extra one to be removed)
replyFun. I got the "Wind" but not the "ow" as I didn't know that a comma (or an apostroph) meant removal of a letter. Is that a convention ?
replyLove love love!!! More please please please :) English is a treat, but other languages also fun to try. Thanks :)
