All Sorts
Monday, April 21st, 2008I’ve organized the alphabet in three different ways below. For instance, if I put AEIOU in one group, and BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ in the other, you would probably figure out that I sorted the consonants from the vowels. Can you figure out how I sorted each of these groups?
1.
CDILMVX
ABEFGHJKNOPQRSTUWYZ
2.
AEFHIKLMNTVWXYZ
BCDGJOPQRSU
3.
EIOPQRTUWY
ADFGHJKLS

Friday, March 28th, 2008In each puzzle below, you can take a letter (or two letters) from a box in each column, and spell out a word that belongs to the category shown. For instance, you can spell MOTHER by taking the shaded letters from each column. Can you get the rest of the relatives, and then solve the other puzzles as well?
