Impossible Math Puzzles!

You are visitor #

Welcome to the free Impossible Math Puzzles Web Site! No matter what the age, you'll have plenty of mind boggling fun. Although none of the puzzles are actually "impossible", some will seem to be! Be prepared to use all the logic you can find! Feel free to print out any puzzles you like. Here you will find FOUR different types of puzzles: Letter Puzzles, Problem Solving Puzzles, Number Grids, and Word Puzzles. They are described below. Therefore choose your favourite category and go solve!

NEW! PUZZLE SUBMITTER - (where you can enter in puzzles of your own creation to extend this site! They do have to be either letter puzzles, problem solving puzzles, number grids, or word puzzles.)

     Letter Puzzles are consist of numerous math equations where the numbers are replaced with letters (ex. A + C = J rather than 1 + 5 = 6). Your job is to convert them back into numbers through proccess of elimination and a few other hints. For beginners, levels 1 and 2 will get you started. Once you get more expierenced, the higher levels will allow you a better challenge. Unless stated otherwise, no two letters will represent the same number.
     Problem Solving Puzzles are simply questions that require problem solving. They can range from simplistic adding the right things, to having to come up with complex information and use it appropriately to come up with a ridiculous answer! Ususally questions in level 5 won't have an answer - I haven't come up with one! It doesn't mean they aren't possible (all puzzles are possible), it simply means to solve the question may take a bit longer than a few hours. There are various categories in each level, usually just MATHEMATICAL and NON-MATHEMATICAL, where the non-mathematical ones make you think more with much less (if any) calculations required. Mathematical puzzles usually include many more calculations, and perhaps a bit less thinking.
     Number Grids are similar to "Magic Grids". You recieve (in level 1) a 3x3 grid with a few numbers filled in (usually 3). You must fill in the rest. The difference between Number Grids and Magic Grids is that in Number Grids, the totals for each row, colomn, and diagonal line (from corner to corner) have different totals! You will see more if you check them out. There are 7 levels!
     Finally, Word Puzzles are like very small crosswords, without hints. You get a square grid (sometimes with an extra box here or there) and you must take the letters provided and place them in the grid to form words to the right and down. The letters line up with the row or colomn they must go in. If an 'A' is in the first colomn, it must go somewhere in the first colomn. If there is a 'G' in the second row, it must go in the second row. You must use all the letters provided once, and only once in the row or colomn they line up with! Simple as that. Definitions are given with some words that might not be so common or well known.
