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?

STICKS AND STONES are two 6-letter words beginning and ending in S where the four letters in the middle are, themselves, a word. Identify the 6-letter words, beginning and ending in S, from the clues given – some clues refer to the full 6-letter word, some to the smaller 4-letter word.

e.g. PEBBLES = STONES, NERVOUS TWITCH = sTICKs
