It seems like you can solve most of them just as a puzzle, but some linguistic knowledge and intuition would definitely help. I like the concept.

- Claude_Shannon 5y agoYes! They can be solved as a puzzle, but should you happen to know some linguistic concepts or be familiar with, out of lack of better words, lesser-known languages like Navajo, Armenian or so on, it helps too.
- pxeger1 5y agoYeah. Someone else in the thread said they were more like computational puzzles, which I kind of agree with - they're a lot of just logic - but some background knowledge of etymology is also helpful. For the first puzzle, if you didn't know Brazil might be translated as something like "brazilia", then you would have struggled.
