Trying to figure out the up, down, left, and right pattern represented by the image. I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I thought it was directions the folks were facing in order by the items next to the individual but some like the person with 3 bees only facing a direction. Help as it is killing me!

Here is something I puzzled through. For those who don't know, Nerdle is a Wordle-like daily game, but with equations. I attached a screenshot as an example. If you need more explanation, go to the site at nerdlegame.com. I have nothing to do with the site.

The puzzle is to gain the most information possible in the first two guesses. That would mean using all ten digits and all four operations in two guesses. Also, place the equals sign in the sixth and seventh spots, as the answers to the equations are usually one or two digits long. I have no idea how many solutions there are, but I came up with one and I suspect there are more.

The creators of Kanoodle, a caboodle of mind-bending puzzles, had released Kanoodle ultimate champion. In Kanoodle Ultimate Champion, there are >!500!< puzzles vs the original >!200!<. Is there a way to find a PDF of the booklet of Kanoodle Ultimate Champion online?

I tried the link >! https://www.educationalinsights.com/kanoodle-solutions-guides !< but it did not have KUC. Is there a way I can find the KUC booklet online? Because I don't like the >!colours!< of the KUC puzzle pieces. There are some videos where the studio's >!lighting!< conditions made >!green!< and >!lime!< become difficult to distinguish, like >! https://youtu.be/8q6yLlIoqv8 !<. A beginner who starts on KUC might think two >!lime!< pieces are there and no >!green!<, especially after hearing ">!Green!<" in answer key videos.

So i had the idea to create a puzzle hunt for someones birthday. I have a couple good ideas already but i have one that i am a little stuck on and i hope some of you could give me some ideas. I had thought about starting the puzzle with a qr code that leads to some website where there are more clues for further puzzles. But i don't want to just give them a qr code, i had the thought of giving them a grid that they have to color in to create the code. Now my question is how i could make a fun puzzle out of it. I had the idea of making it a sudoku but i dont think 9x9 qr codes are a possible? Does anyone know if you could make a sudoku qr code or does anyone have a different idea for a fun puzzle that results in a qr code? I could make it a jiggsaw but i dont really like that idea. Id rather have a puzzle that isnt obviously a qr code from the start.

Thanks for any input

Hello

First of all I'm not sure this the right place to ask, if not would someone be able to point me in the right direction.

My family and I are always doing arrowwords puzzles and I am trying to create a personalised one as a Christmas present for them.

I have a list of 55 clues, now I have no idea where to even start assembling them into a grid. Has anyone got any pointers to how I start even designing this. I attempted to find online generators but none of them seemed to be able to do it. Chat GPT was also useless in helping me and simply put all the words in a a list for me.

Hello r/puzzles! Lately I have been wanting to get into puzzles (logic, brain teasers, etc...) and this subreddit seems to have many different types of puzzles and a lot of different puzzles to try.

• What are the different types of puzzles and what are some beginner resources for these various types of puzzles?
• What are some of the best ways to get into puzzles or what are the best beginner puzzle resources? (Websites, Apps, Books, Magazines, newspapers...)

p.s. Would it be a good idea to make this the beginning of a r/puzzles Wiki for beginners or just as a reference resource with faqs?

She is constantly doing regular puzzles and I was looking for something with more of a twist to it maybe. She wouldn’t enjoy a rubiks cube but she is very good at standard puzzles if that helps at all. Or if anyone has suggestions for a puzzle pack that is particularly interesting I would appreciate that as well. Thanks!

This puzzle was handed out to members of a local seniors club as part of a raffle that has since ended and we've been completely stuck for weeks. Any help greatly appreciated.

My grandfather does the word Jumble in the newspaper and need to make a 5 letter word, a 4 letter word, and a 3 letter word using each of the following letters once: pluiitsgarnc

He says he’s stumped and phoned to see if I could look it up online.

There’s lots of word unscramblers online but they just give me a big list of individual words that can be made, but i couldn’t find one that would give me three separate words using those letters

Here you go, I named my post so hopefully it doesn’t get taken down. Good luck with this one

The puzzle was invented by Eduard E. Rekstin, Latvia.
Since different countries use different rules for writing multiplication in a column, here is an example of the writing used in this case.
Two numbers with all 10 different digits are multiplied according to the example. The result of the product also contains all ten digits. Restore the original notation.

Can anyone link the post. I was working on it and accidentally pressed back and can't find it anywhere.

OQ: you have 12 balls and a scale, one ball is either lighter or heavier than the others. With just three weighs, how can you determine which balls is different and if it's lighter or heavier

Discussion:

The key is the second weighing. Assume all balls are numbered

First way was 1,2,3,4 and 5,6,7,8. Assume 1,2,3,4 heavier (unbalance scenario)

the second weigh would be 1,2,5 and 3,4,9.

• 5 ( possible light or normal) is move to the other side
• 9 (a normal ball is put onto right)

Can someone explain to me the thinking that comes to this weigh? My pseudo expo now

• think 12 vs 56 -> this weigh really determines if indeed left side initially was heavier
• you then try to break up the second group too (5,6,7,8). You slot (5 possible light), hoping to attain more info? But u have to put a neutral to the right scale? (9) as that's how you narrow down?
  • if 1,2,5 heavy than 1 or 2 was indeed heavy
  • if 3,4,9 heavy you know 3,4 was heavy or 5 was the light one

Just trying to work on how to reach the solution

The back of the card says 20

Some 15-20 years ago I came across a picture in a style of "where is Waldo" where there were lots of rock bands scattered around. For example I remember a gray airship with Pb written on it (Led zeppelin) or some roses with a gun (Guns and roses) long nails with a meter set at 9 inches and so on. Does anyone have that picture?

I see a lot of posts on this subreddit where people say "can you solve this?" but it's some random puzzle they found in some random place.

I'm curious to know if there is an app or a website where I can play these puzzles often. I enjoy games like wordle and crosswords but I'm looking for more challenging games as well. Even stuff like riddles. Something to engage my mind everyday.

If any of you do, where do you play these brain-stimulating games?

Or am I dumb and they're called Logic puzzles like at the top? Regardless, please enjoy!

Example of game play:

What is the best strategy? My best guess so far is: Write down my moves, and if I lose, I can correct and try again.

The passengers always appear in the same order.

There are a lot of these floating around. I have like 16 of this kind of puzzle installed right now.

Was playing this puzzle an can’t figure it out. Please help?

I must be overlooking some style of logic here. Can someone explain? I don’t see any pair of rows or columns that helps, no regions that can be narrowed together as none line up. I use the brown shading to indicate any area 1 star is required and green for an area that requires at least one star but could also be 2, just not 0. All I can see to do is guess or try possibilities. Thanks

I am completely stumped on the hardest difficulty in star battle. I used a hint to help me decide what my next course of action would be, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how I am supposed to get there logically on my own. Can someone explain the strategy behind this?
