A PRACTICAL SOLVING METHOD

How to solve a logic-grid puzzle

Work from certainty to elimination. Do not guess when the clues can narrow the grid for you.

  1. 01

    Mark direct matches first

    If a clue says Mira collected at 4:00 PM, mark that match. Then cross 4:00 PM out for every other maker.

  2. 02

    Carry each match across categories

    The 4:00 PM pickup used Amber Speckle. Once Mira is at 4:00 PM, Mira must also have Amber Speckle.

  3. 03

    Read order words precisely

    “Immediately before” means the next listed position. “Earlier than” may leave one or more positions between the items.

  4. 04

    Use the tightest row

    When a row has only two open options, test both against existing matches and order clues. The next deduction often starts there.

  5. 05

    Verify every clue at the end

    Confirm that each value appears exactly once and that all nine clues fit your completed grid.

Show the free sample’s complete answer and reasoning

Mira has the 4:00 PM pickup and Amber Speckle. Felix is at 3:20 PM, followed by Cloud White at 3:40 PM. Owen is adjacent to the 3:20 PM slot, so he could initially be at 3:00 or 3:40. Because Owen has River Blue, he cannot occupy the Cloud White slot and must be at 3:00 PM. That leaves Etta at 3:40 PM with Cloud White, and Moss Green for Felix.
