Word Circle Puzzles: December 2014

If you are new to Word Circle Puzzles you can get the gist of play at one of my previous posts - click here. And then be sure to check out the Puzzles Category for other Word Circle Puzzle installments. 

Presentation Idea: I tried a new way to present the Word Circle Puzzles at a recent training. I put down a whole bunch of game spots in a big circle formation that included one spot for everyone in the group (at the training I have 22 people) and I also included three extra spots. In other words, when all the participants in the training each stood on a spot there were three left open (placement of open spots does not matter). 

After everyone was comfortably standing on a spot I went around and gave everyone at least one word card from a 25-card set - three people were given two word cards. Here are the rules I gave: 
  • Each person must have at least one word card in his or her hand at all times - cards can be exchanged as long as this rule is followed. 
  • One person can move at a time to an open spot - players are not allowed to exchange spots.
  • Players are allowed to show their card(s) and speak freely during the activity. 
  • You are allowed to ask two questions of the facilitator during the activity - other than "What is the answer to the puzzle?" 
  • You have 15 minutes to complete as much of the puzzle as you can. 

I thought this presentation version was actually pretty interactive. (Of course you are free to change or adapt any of the rules to meet your goals.) Players standing next to each other worked in small groups brainstorming ideas but then had to address the large group when movement took place. Do let me know how this one works out for you. 


Here are the next half-dozen puzzles - words mixed up - for your adventures (spoiler alert - the answers are at the bottom of the post. So, if you want to play first to see if you can solve the puzzles don't read down too far):
