Stuck?

• If you’re stuck, look at the inteGIRLS Guide to Puzzle Solving

​

• Use Google!! Many of the puzzles will be impossible to solve without using the Internet.

​

• EXTREMELY USEFUL WEBSITES: Nutrimatic and dCode.

​

• EXTREMELY COMMON MECHANIC: indexing: for example INTEGIRLS [5] is G, the 5th letter.

​

• Some of the puzzles will give a phrase that has to be turned into the answer. For example, the phrase MIRZAKHANIFIRSTNAME, referencing the Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzkhani, would lead to the answer MARYAM.

​

• In August, inteGIRLS hosted a Puzzle 101 seminar where we went over the basics of solving puzzles.
