In my spare time, I like to compete in puzzle hunts, such as Galactic Puzzle Hunt. Basically, they involve a series of puzzles, where each should lead to a single-word or short-phrase answer using only the letters A-Z. For a longer introduction to puzzle hunts, see here, and for a simpler introduction to such hunts, try out Puzzled Pint.
Sometimes, in my spare time, I make puzzles, and twice, my wife and I have even made puzzle hunts ourselves! Below you can find them both, in the order we made them (the 2nd one is a bit longer, and perhaps made a bit better). Each puzzle is a single pdf document, next to the pdf link, there is a text box for spoiler-free answer checking, as well as a link to the solution pdf. The normal puzzles are listed roughly in order of increasing difficulty, while the meta (which requires using the answers from the previous puzzles) always comes last.
Enjoy!
