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?

18/4/25 – Richard I

Between each pair of 3-letter words place another 3-letter word such that two longer 5-letter words are formed; the first ending with the middle letter of the middle word, the second beginning with it.

E.g. LOT (TOP) ERA gives lotto and opera. The middle letters of the middle words read downwards form a word – what is it?
