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?

28/8/24 – Search Words

Using only the letters of SEARCH, 12 words of four or more letters can be found in the grid below. If a word is hidden within a longer word, or if a letter is used more than once, then this word doesn’t count as one of the 12.

E.g. if a line contained the letters S H E A R S, then the words SHEARS, HEAR or EARS don’t count but SHEAR does. All the letters in the grid are used at least once.

A C H E A E
S R A R C S
E E C A R A
R A S H E H
A R H S A C
H S C A R E
