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?

4/3/25 – Occupations

Combine each of the 4-letter words with a 3-letter word, then rearrange the letters to reveal the name of an occupation.

E.g. IDLE RUB = BUILDER. Place these occupations into the grid below such that nine are shown horizontally and a tenth is revealed along the lead diagonal (donated by question marks).

Four-letter words: NAME, MEAN, ROSE, SORE, TREE, PEAR, TOUR, HERB

Three-letter words: CUT, FIR, ARC, LID, TIN, GUN, CAR, RAG
