rein in.

As in, pulling a horses reins to get them to slow down or stop, control the horses.

“Reign” is duration of rulership or control, like a king’s reign. Context: “King trump had an unjust reign”.

“Rule in ICE” makes no sense. No, don’t work it backwards like you can “rule” ice.

A king does not “rein” unless he’s riding a horse.
