In the context of a rebus, "small scope" refers to a limited or narrow range of meaning or interpretation conveyed by the visual elements used. Rebus puzzles typically rely on simple images, symbols, or letters that represent sounds or words, and a small scope suggests that the clues are straightforward and easily recognizable. This makes the puzzle more accessible, as it requires less complex reasoning to decode the intended message.
