Puzzle Description:

A Venn diagram for the letters of "Let's Play"

Im guessing this is your first puzzle.

Thank you for the puzzle I liked it but puzzles with more white/blank in them are a little more interesting and you dont really need all the green

oh no math attacking me again..... lol


great idea ditto #1

not my first but first time I tried to do this venn thing and I just wanted to avoid more than one solution so I made it very easy.

If it is truly a Venn diagram, then the middle (overlapping) section should only be what both circles have in common, right? In this specific example, the only "letter" of "LET'S PLAY" that they both share in common is "L," so shouldn't the "L" be in the center?

In fact, the letters of each word should be in the same circle, shouldn't they? So in the black circle, for example, the letters "E," "T," and "S" should be there. The letters "P," "A," and "Y" should be in the red circle, shouldn't they? That is what I understood a Venn diagram to be.

Adam your right the letter in the puzzle are not place in the correct section

maybe Georgia fail math and didn't want to tell us...lol

LOL

Monkeyboy's right - I'm a math teacher

I, too, am a math teacher with a minor in English. The Venn diagram is OF the letters in Let's Play, but the diagram is of whether they are vowels or consonants and "Y" can be used as either. Not only did I pass math, but I have 2 degrees in math and have taught it for more years than I care to admit. But I see your point in how some of you interpreted it. Thanks for new insight.

Thank you for the excellent clarification. We are both right in how we saw the Venn. I never thought of it your way, but you are of course right since you did it by vowels/consonants, and not just letters overall.

That is why I said something like "shouldn't it?" in my last comment and not "you are absolutely wrong and if you don't change it then you should be shot!" LOL :-) Nice work!

nice discussion.

oups look like a fail exam for ME lol

the Y probably fool me as how you split the letter

so that considerate great job :)

It took me a minute, but I picked up on the consonant / vowel seperation.

This is a Venn diagram for "Plyts, aye?" Which is a very well known phrase uttered by old pirates with very few remaining teeth.
