Brain Teasers: Riddle Quiz

[Brain Teaser] You’ll need some out-of-the-box thinking. Give your brain a workout!

The “Brain Gym Riddle Quiz” that sparks inspiration is a wordplay game that’s fun to think through.

Each prompt has a little twist, so the answer won’t always come to you right away.

By shifting your perspective—looking at the order or appearance of words, or everyday events—you’re nudged closer to the solution.

Part of the charm is how the puzzles can make you go “aha!” or even laugh.

Since it’s about creativity rather than knowledge, anyone can join in casually, and the time spent thinking becomes a pleasantly stimulating experience.

It’s a brain-training game that gently loosens up your mind while you enjoy yourself, and it’s especially recommended for older adults.

A wordplay character using ‘ri’ and numbers

Brain Teaser: Witty Letter Quiz Short 7 – Senior Brain Training Rec #Shorts #Quiz #BrainTraining #BrainTeaser #DayService #Recreation #DementiaPrevention

Let’s think by combining characters! Here’s a wordplay puzzle that uses the character “り” and numbers.

You see the string “り234り6.” Without a hint, many people might find it hard to reach the answer.

The hint is that the numbers “1” and “5” have been replaced by “り.” The correct answer is “strawberry picking.” Some of you may have had the experience of picking and eating strawberries at a strawberry farm.

This was a puzzle that makes you crave sweet strawberries!

A wordplay lettering using “u” and “shi.”

Let’s figure out the correct answer from the combined characters.

Here’s a wordplay puzzle using the Japanese characters “う” (u) and “し” (shi).

The character “u” forms a ring encircling “shi.” It’s a unique arrangement, and some people might have no idea what the answer could be.

The hints are that there are ten “う” characters and that “し” is placed in the center.

The answer is “雨天中止” (canceled due to rain).

ポイントは、数字の10を「ten（テン）」と読むことで、日本語の読み「テン」と同じ音になり、その結果としてそのフレーズにつながるということです。

“Sashisuseso” wordplay

Brain Teaser: Trick Letter Quiz (Short) – Brain Training Activity for Seniors #Shorts

I want to take on the challenge while picturing the Japanese syllabary! This is a wordplay puzzle using the “sa-shi-su-se-so” row.

Because it’s a simple prompt that says “sa-shi-su-se-so clothing,” it might take some time to reach the answer.

The hints are that it’s clothing worn for work, and that “sa-shi-su-se-so” is the “sa” row (gyō) in the 50-sound chart.

The answer is 'work clothes' (作業服).

“Sa-shi-su-se-so” corresponds to the ‘sa’ row, right? The puzzle is simple, but that might make the hints hard to grasp for some people.

It could be more engaging if you tweak or add hints.

Witty calligraphy using the characters ‘parent’ and ‘se’

After taking a quick breather, let’s give our brains a little workout.

Here’s a wordplay riddle using the characters “親” (parent) and “せ.” You can see the character “せ” placed between the two parts that make up “親,” right? The hints are that it’s a word meaning to cause someone trouble, and that “せ” is inside “親.” With those hints, many of you have probably figured it out already.

The answer is “oyanakase” (a child who causes their parents grief).

Oyanakase refers to behavior by a child that causes their parents distress or makes them lament.

A wordplay using the letters “BC”

Brain Teaser: Witty Letter Quiz Short ③ – Senior Brain Training Recreation #Shorts

Let’s combine symbols and letters to think it through! This is a wordplay puzzle using “BC.” It shows the characters “Star BC,” which don’t have motion or color, so it might be hard to find the answer from that alone.

The hints are that it refers to an actor and that the “A” in “ABC” has been replaced by a star.

The answer is “movie star.” It’s a clever twist where the “A” becomes a “star,” so it makes sense once you hear it! Bursts of insight stimulate the brain, so try posing it to people around you.
