How to invent a puzzle?Let us give a few tips.
Operating
For starters we recommend to save material for observation.To begin to do, you need to familiarize yourself with how it is done by other authors.Grab collection of puzzles in a long journey at sea or in the country.Solve them as a family, discuss how they are successful, admire the people's (or writer's) wisdom, good comparison.

- and army, and the governor - all tumbled down.
- What is sweeter than anything in the world?

How to invent a puzzle-comparison?
To compose a simple task, you learn to find the properties of the object and compare it to these qualities with other objects (phenomena).Very convenient to fill a small table.
| Sun | |
| What? | What is it like? |
| hot | on the stove |

Combining these data, you can:
hot as an oven.
Golden, like a dandelion.
round like a wheel.
bright as fire.
Try it - it's a fascinating process!
How to invent a puzzle, if the object or phenomenon has distinct features?Ask yourself: "What can he do?Who else does that? ยป
| Wind | |
| What does? | What (who) look like? |

flies, but not a bird.
howls, but not a wolf.
whistles, but not the Nightingale the Robber.

Horned like a sheep, but no gore.
fly like an airplane, but sits on the leaves of trees.
buzzing like a bee, but do not bite.
Consider the parts and the whole
What can be more difficult to come up with a riddle?Let's bring on the help of mathematics!Consider the human body.From which parts of it consist of?One tongue, lips, one mouth, two eyes, ears, a pair of arms and legs.As a people is reflected in folklore?
One talker,
other Whistler
The third edun.
Two brothers Vydac,
