Puzzles & Brainteasers

The goal of this brainteaser is to toggle the letters up or down in the alphabet to create an English word. Each puzzle consists of a string of nonsense letters as well as a number indicating how many moves you are allowed to make. Starting from here, you need to make adjustments to some or all of the letters in order to arrive at a real word. For example, you might take the puzzle ‘DOART (6)’ and adjust it to make the word ‘CLASS’ by moving D -> C, O -> L, R -> S & T -> S which is a total of 6 moves up or down in the alphabet. Notice that the letter A did not get adjusted – you are free to leave some letters unchanged. New puzzles added weekly.
