    Hi everyone

    Elemental is a game I came up with during COVID and have nearly finished making it into an app. The game is comprised of logic/word/number puzzles and quiz rounds - but all in the same Venn diagram format (I know - sounds sexy!). I am gonna leave some here if anyone is interested in something that I think is a bit different.. thanks

    Word Game => Each Set To Contain Four Tiles That Can Spell An Eight Letter Solution To The Clue - Some Tiles Will Be Shared By More Than One Set















    Puzzle Game: Sort The Tiles Into The Sets













    Numbers Game: Place the Tiles So The Totals In Each Set Corresponding To The Number in {} Brackets















    Quiz: Or Just Plain Old General Knowledge

    Each circle has four letters - and the letters inside can be made to solve the clue

    This looks interesting. Is there any chance you could adjust the quality of the image? It’s difficult to see it on mobile and I have to zoom in.

    Well done again iamstop (too easy?). Not sure how to change the quality PSoW - but have made the text a bit larger...

    That’s a lot better, @MeisterG

    well done @iamstop 😊 I need to be on my toes if I want to be first to post some answers 😂



  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    Trying something a bit more difficult - again four tiles per circle spelling out a solution, but now the solution has eight letters

  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG

    You got the harder ones - the instrument is the "king of music-makers" the melodica. Here's another one:

    Happy Saturday folks - tried out a few questions at the local school quiz last night - wanna give them a go? Looking for A & B





  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    What are A and B?




  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    Here's another one..again the idea is simple where are A,B,C & D?




  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    Back again! A quick nugget - looking to place the tiles on the Venn Diagram so that (a) each circle has four tiles and (b) those four tiles can be arranged to spell out a solution to the corresponding clue.




  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,812 Mod ✭✭✭✭iamstop




  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    Well done iamstop! Looking for the eight-letter solutions again! Four tiles per-circle

    great game OP 👍️

    had a guess with the last one there 😃



  • Registered Users Posts: 358 ✭✭MeisterG


    Thanks very much, leffesem - yep the last one is a bit more cryptic I'll leave it hanging for a second. I also do more sort of lateral-thinking ones - here is one I have just posted on Reddit r/puzzles - each of the tiles belongs in at least one circle - but we don't know what the circles represent (yet!). Some have been placed for you - but where do the others go and why?




  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    This one makes more sense than my previous offering 😃 - now that I think I have the rules "down" (looks like the letters have to be in the same order as they appear in their blocks of two)
