What each level asks of you

The levels are set by the hardest step a puzzle needs, not just by its size. Every puzzle is solved by a program first, and the program records which steps it had to use.

Starter3 names, one grid. Mark what each clue tells you, then finish the rows and columns.
Easy4 names, one grid. The same steps, with "or" clues and "older than" clues to work out.
Medium4 names, three grids. Carry facts from one grid to the next. No guessing is needed.
Hard5 names, three grids. At least one "try it and see" step: suppose half of an either/or clue is true and follow it until it breaks.

Why logic puzzles are worth class time

A logic grid puzzle asks a student to read closely, hold several facts at once and write down only what has been proved. Those are the habits behind careful math, science and computer programming. They also work well for early finishers, because one sheet takes ten to thirty minutes and needs nothing but a pencil.

Questions

Are these logic puzzles free to print?

Yes. All 48 puzzles and their answer keys are free to print, with no signup and no watermark.

What is a logic grid puzzle?

A short story, a list of clues and a grid. Each clue tells you something that is or is not true. You mark the grid with an ✕ for no and a ● for yes until only one answer is left.

Does every puzzle have only one answer?

Yes. Each puzzle is checked by a solver before it goes on the page. A puzzle with more than one answer, or with none, is thrown out.

Do I ever have to guess?

Not in the starter, easy or medium puzzles: every mark follows from a clue. The hard puzzles each have a point where you must suppose something is true and follow it until it breaks. That is not a lucky guess. The dead end proves which half of the clue is false.

What grade are these for?

Starter puzzles suit grades 2 and 3. Easy puzzles suit grades 3 and 4, medium puzzles grades 4 to 6, and hard puzzles grade 6 and up, including adults.

Where are the answers?

On page 2 of every PDF, with the finished grid. Hard puzzles also show the try-it-and-see step.
