New Round Of Brainfood Puzzles
Saturday, January 5, 2008

This post is just to let everyone know that there's a new round of Brainfood Puzzles that'll start tomorrow. From September to January, the Brainfood high scorers were yoi55 and VICKY, with 50 points each...followed closely by lewanj with 48 and AlphaSigChainsaw with 40. Nicely done everyone!
During the winter and spring months you will see some recurring themes in the Brainfood Puzzles. These recurring puzzle types include:
Hinky Pinky - In which you are given a clue, and you must figure out two rhyming words that fit the clue. For example, if the clue was: "A Much Nicer Restaurant", the answer might be: "Finer Diner"
Word Ladders - A game invented by Lewis Carroll, in which you must get from one word to another by changing one letter at a time. Example: to get from HATE to LOVE, you might use the following Word Ladder: HATE/RATE/RAVE/CAVE/COVE/LOVE.
Word Equations - A word equation is an addition of two words to create a third word. Here's an example: SLENDER + RULER = PONDERING. The reason this equation makes sense is, SLENDER = THIN, and RULER = KING. THIN + KING = THINKING = PONDERING.
I hope you enjoy this new round of word puzzles!Labels: brainfood
