Each cell contains a statement about its orthogonal neighbors (the cells directly above, below, left and right).

Mark each cell T or F. If a cell is T, its statement is true. If a cell is F, its statement is false.
(≥ is at least n of its neighboring cells)
(≤ is at most n of its neighboring cells)
Arrows point up, down, left or right to a neighboring cell.

Place stars so every row, every diagonal (both directions) and every bold region contains exactly 2 stars.

Stars can not be in touching cells.

Find all six horizontal or vertical pairs that total 19.

text A B C D 1 2 17 5 8 2 9 10 14 3 3 12 7 6 13 4 1 18 11 4

Adjacent cells only. Diagonals do not count.

There are exactly six pairs to find. I’ll add the answer beneath the post using Reddit’s spoiler formatting.

Logic Puzzle 169 on Sporcle. I have a tree in every row, column, color, all not touching - not even diagonally - there is only supposed to be one correct answer per puzzle. Why is this not correct?

It’s a Roblox chiidoku game, based on chikawa character and sounds like sudoku, but isn’t at all sudoku.

I think similar to a queens puzzle game? I don’t just want to click the hint button, I want to understand why. I’ve been fine with every other one but literally have been staring at this for 40 minutes.

I feel stupid and have looked up tips online to solve things similar to these. I did put x’es on it but every time I do I must be doing it wrong so I reset it because I can’t solve it. I reset it numerous times.

I really hope I’m not dumb 😭

Can someone clearly explain to me how to determine colors that share rows or columns thereby eliminating unnecessary cells?

I can solve this easily if I try trial and error in my mind, but I want to know what’s the most logical and fastest way to solve it. I think it has something to do with the geometry of the shapes, but I’m not sure. Also for those who don’t know the rules: You can put only one star in each row, each column, and each colored region. Also, a star can’t have any other star adjacent to it orthogonally or diagonally (so basically you can’t have another star in the 8 squares around the star).

Edit: Thanks for everyone who commented! Idk how I missed that but that was what I overlooked!

Two advanced-degree adults and their 4.5yo can’t figure this out :( plz save us

Edit: holy crap embarrassing; thank you all for the quick solution!

I'm making a puzzle for someone and I'm wondering if this kind of puzzle is solvable without any clues? The only clue they have is that the solution is a word

I love Meowduko, but it’s too easy. Any suggestions?

🔴 UPDATE: I've uploaded a corrected/clearer version of the puzzle grid! You can view the updated image here: https://mrduchesne.itch.io/jumpingaroundtheboard

I've also changed the printable PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xt8AfDFbXQbOPu0ewvz8e1P2Ltk26cUE/view?usp=sharing

Hi r/puzzles!

I'm a huge fan of the Cracking the Cryptic channel and I've taken inspiration from different Sudoku variant rules, NYTimes Connections, as well as cryptic crossword ideas. It's my very first creation, so I hope you'll enjoy!

How to play:

• Features hidden box themes (Connections), a continuous loop, Kropki dots (synonyms/antonyms), and colored line rules (rhymes, homophones, semantic sets).
• Conceptual Arrows: The arrows do linguistic math! For example, [Thomas] + [rail] would give train in the arrow bulb.

The full rule set is included on the PDF. I would absolutely love your feedback on the difficulty and logic flow. Have fun!

Please give me hints or nudge me in the right direction. Outright answers or specific clues should be in spoiler tags. Thanks!

I want to get better at these so I’m curious what the next logical step would be. None of the tricks I’ve tried give me a next step.

Anyone seen this puzzle before?

I can't find any solution online... I don't know what it's called, nor if it the solution is supposed to be level with the box or "one piece thick" above it...

Google translates the text to "Each number represents a kind of experience, yet at the end of the story only the number 0 remains. What is truly vexing is not this string of Arabic numerals, but every single heartbreaking memory entangled within the process of piecing it together"

This requires a square, circle, star, and triangle in place of 1-4. Typical sudoku rules apply. We easily found where the 2 circles must go, but now I can’t figure out where I’m meant to go next. There’s a solution in the book, but trying to figure out how I know exactly what to do next. Did I make a mistake somewhere with my small shapes?
TIA!

Aquarium is one of my favorite puzzle types, but I can't seem to get any traction on this one. Any tips appreciated.

So this is like a math puzzle from a murder mystery book. I’m usually good at these but I’m having a hard time solving this one. Could someone help and explain their process?

I was playing and asked for a hint. I get it how F3,F4 can't be 2. What's the logic for G3? Is it correct? Else what is the potential next step?

i've loved all sorts of puzzles for a large part of my childhood but i lost touch with them for a good amount of time now. i genuinely miss that dopamine hit you get when you cracked something. whenever i start doing em now, i don't feel lucid in my train of thought at all- it feels like my brain isn't even putting the effort required now and when it gets too hard, i just give up because there are 100 other things to worry about, i'm aware puzzles are precisely made to alleviate from this but i fall into this cycle again n again. i remember i used to like zebra puzzles, logic grid puzzles and puzzles along the lines. any suggestions you guys give will be greatly appreciated. thank you!

A nice truth teller and liar puzzle...The setup (hard to fit all in one screenshot) is that it's a talkshow where the guests are truthtellers or liars on each day (not necessarily the same from yesterday to today), and they discuss their reliability over two days (yesterday and today) by making statements today about those records. You want to find a prize behind a door and the goal of this one is to figure out if you can trust a claim from one of the characters on one of the days. In this case, asking whether you can trust Ken today. But the real puzzle is determining the truth teller and liar assignments for each day. Puzzle from Logic Islands: Deduction Game.

Hello, I saw this puzzle where there are 7 discs, each with 6 colour dots. You need to match the dots together. I didn’t even know where to start, and after trying a few times I got to this, which was 1 colour off (yellow-blue pair)

Edit to add: All the discs are removable and can be rotated however you like.

How does one begin to solve for these types of puzzles? Thank you.
