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?

13/2/25 – Before & After – 2

Find two words for each clue which will combine to give a well-known phrase or saying including an ampersand. The first word suffixes the word on the left. The second word prefixes the word on the right.

E.g. BIG top & bottom DRAWER

SPINNING  _____  SPIN

HUMP  _____  RIGHT

JET  _____  WASH

FRIED  _____  FED

PEN  _____  LIFT

FINE  _____  FLAW

BABY  _____  BRUSH
