I forgot when posting this deal on subscriptions the other day: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/598976
that there is a free Daily Challenge puzzle of the day feature everyone can use.
It looks like you can do the last week / last 7 puzzles and the oldest gets replaced each day. I think at 10pm AEDT.
well that's a little bit tricky i think because different people are well, different. for example some kids can be very precocious, particularly in narrow areas. and i am an idiot in my 30s so…
the official line for the entire website https://brilliant.org/ is
For ages 10 to 110
Get started as a beginner with the fundamentals, or dive right into intermediate and advanced courses for professionals. Brilliant has courses for ambitious people of all ages.
and on the subscription side all the courses (which are the puzzle lessons aranged nicely) have a "View prerequisites and next steps" page where the most basic courses all say "No previous knowledge required!" but then follow that up with various things.
The biggest clue might be Mathematical Fundamentals
No previous knowledge required! This course is for anyone who remembers middle school math (basic algebra and fractions), and is ready for a refresher and new challenges on core mathematical concepts.

But for these free puzzles, i'm afraid i'm just not sure. They don't seem to be the most basic puzzles on the site. I think they are meant to be a bit challenging, but I havn't been doing them long enough to know how much they alter in difficulty. I plan on getting into the habit of attempting them daily so i'll try to remember to come back later.
Thanks for your reply. Ok I will register for my 11 year (soon 12) boy and let him have a go.
No worries. Let us know how he goes.
thanks op
You're welcome
I signed up and it says 7 day free trial only?
Daily free puzzles are in the free section of the website.
You do need to sign up for a free account, but not a premium account.
OP. Do you know at what age groups this is suitable for?
