Puzzles

One activity that many of our members enjoy is puzzling! You can test yourself for fun with our brainteasers. Our quizzes and conundrums are updated regularly, so do check back on the page for the latest content, and if you get really good at them, why not find out what your IQ is by booking a Mensa Supervised IQ Test?

1/5/26 – On the Move

Combine and rearrange these 3-letter words to reveal four 9-letter words of things that move. E.g. KIT, MOB, ORE = MOTORBIKE. One of these is an odd one out, but which one?

Each group of three letters is used once and once only.

SUM   ELF   BOG   PAN
EEL   BIN   TRY   ONE
ARM   TUB   EAR   OAR
