To solve the puzzle without using words, you can follow these steps:

1. Represent the man, fox, goose, and corn using physical objects or drawings. You can use four small objects, like coins or figurines, to represent each entity.

2. Set up the puzzle by placing the man, fox, goose, and corn on one side of the "river". You can use a table or any flat surface to simulate the two sides of the river.

3. Use another small object, like a small toy boat, to represent the boat used for crossing the river.

4. Begin by moving the man to the other side of the river in the boat. Place the man in the boat, keeping the fox, goose, and corn on the original side.

5. Return back to the original side of the river, leaving the man on the other side. Ensure that the fox and corn are not left alone on the original side while the goose is taken to the other side. Placing the fox and the corn together on the same side would violate this condition.

6. Take the goose across the river while leaving the fox and corn on the original side.

7. Once the goose is safely on the other side, return to the original side of the river to fetch the corn.

8. Bring the man back to the side with the fox and corn, leaving the corn on that side, and taking the fox with him on the boat.

9. Bring the fox to the other side of the river, leaving the man there.

10. Finally, go back to the original side and bring the corn to the other side of the river. Now, all four entities (man, fox, goose, and corn) have been safely transferred to the other side without violating any of the given conditions.

By physically moving the objects or drawing their positions, you can visually solve the puzzle without using any words.
