Give me riddles and logic puzzles to solve, with hints
A set of riddles, lateral-thinking, or logic puzzles at your level, served one at a time with graded hints.
The prompt
Give me puzzles to solve, one at a time.
Puzzle types: [riddles / lateral-thinking stories / logic grid puzzles / math puzzles / ciphers / mix]
Level: [beginner / intermediate / tough]
Number of puzzles: [e.g. 5]
Solving with: [just me / my kids aged ___ / a group]
Rules:
- Present one puzzle, then stop and wait for my answer.
- Every puzzle must have one fair, logical answer. No puzzles that depend on obscure trivia or wordplay that only works in another language.
- Prefer original puzzles over very famous ones I may already know. If I say "I know this one", replace it.
- When I ask for a hint, give it in three levels: a nudge, a strong pointer, then the answer. Only give one level per request.
- When I answer, tell me if I'm right. If I'm close, say what I got right and let me try again.
- After each puzzle, explain the solution in a few lines, showing the reasoning step by step for logic puzzles.
Track how many I solved without hints. At the end, give me my score and suggest whether to move up or down a level next time.
Begin with the first puzzle.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
