Letter Equation Riddles
I1 wrote this series of puzzles in university. I'd definitely seen the format somewhere before, but it was only upon getting some friends to review these puzzles while preparing it for my website that I discovered they're called Ditloids.
These riddles involve identifying an original phrase whose words have largely been replaced with their first letter. For example, 3 B Ms (S H T R) may be 3 Blind Mice (See How They Run). Plurals should be marked with an 's' even if absent from their plural form, as with Ms and Mice.

While this is almost entirely my own work, I think that a few of the earlier ones were copied from somewhere deliberately or otherwise↩
