Dingbats - Thought I'd Got This One, But Now I'm Not So Sure!

1. The
2. Mon
3. Cri
4. sto

I immediately thought The Count of Monte Cristo ... however, the 'Mon' doesn't have 'te' at the end and it made me rethink ... maybe 'count down' ??

Maybe te sounds like the letter t?
Sounds good to me

Say 1,2,3,4 and you're counting. :))

^^ sorry didn't read all your post.

[mallyh]

if it was the M and E missing ......count me out

[Karamia]

Iffy - countdown to zero ??

(Te - zero)

[ProfessorMaisie]

Is there such a thing as a countdown note ('no TE')?

How about 'Out for the count' ? The numbers go up to 4 and the word 'count' is missing from the words.
