I'm yuzuo! I'm currently trying to create some simple and fun puzzles every day and share them online with friends who have never experienced puzzles before. However, I'm concerned that posting daily might spam the website, so I’d like to share my lovely puzzles on a weekly basis instead! All of them are created by myself~ Below is my work for the first week (5puzzles+1meta)—I truly hope you enjoy it!
These cute and nicely presented puzzles lead to the answers:
DRAGON EGG, PIONEER, CAFE, ELON MUSK, and CONFUSION, resulting in the metapuzzle's solution: PICASSO!
Puzzle 01:
The images are of a WOODEN EGG, a ROTTEN EGG, and a GOLDEN EGG. Taking the letters that match the coloured spaces gives the answer DRAGON EGG.
Puzzle 02:
The top part of this puzzle is an obfuscated version of Euler's identity, in which:
$e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$
Taking the components in yellow, then blue, then red, plus the final 'R', yields the word PI+ONE+E+[R], i.e. PIONEER.
Puzzle 03:
Two words that are 5-letter synonyms of sorts for 'SEIZE' ending in 'TCH' and beginning with 2-letter metallic chemical element symbols are CaTCH and FeTCH (using the symbols for Calcium [Ca] and Iron [Fe]). Together, these elements spell the answer word CAFE.
Puzzle 04:
Positioning the letters of MELON and UK into the corresponding coloured spaces produces 'ELON MU.K', With the clue of 'RICH GUY', the missing letter must be an 'S' to make ELON MUSK.
Puzzle 05:
The yellow/orange symbols on the left comprise stylised letters that spell out words represented by the corresponding symbols. The first three words are COIN, COLON and FISH. You can then replace the question mark by matching the parts to those you have found already to realise they spell CONFUSION, which is a pretty good fit for a question mark symbol too!
Meta-puzzle:
The shapes used here represent letters found in the other puzzles. Taking:
[PI]ONEER + [CA]FE + ELON MU[S]K + CONFU[S]ION + DRAG[O]N EGG
we spell our overall answer word:
PICASSO
