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?

27/3/25 – Three to Change

For each set of three 4-letter words an extra letter can be added into the original words such that a new 5-letter word is formed. The added letter is the same for all three words. Letters within the word remain in the same order.

E.g SPED, LAST, PLAN = SPEED, LEAST, PLANE

Added letters create a word associated with the puzzle.
