No, these aren't those annoying problems that math teachers like to give in middle school. These puzzles are based around words and language use.

Using square letter tiles a word search puzzle was created containing the names of gems laid out horizontally and vertically.

Before miscellaneous letters were added, the board on which the letters lay was tipped to the left and then tipped upwards, or was that in reverse order? Anyway the tiles were dislodged from their original positions. On each tipping all tiles slid as far as they could possibly go.

Recreate a layout which reveals all gems and then list them. Some letters are shared with a second word while just one is shared with three.
