Seat two jesters in every row, column and colored court, with none touching. The board stays covered until you begin.
This court takes two per row, column and court, so a second jester in a row is correct here and only a third is a quarrel. The numbers around the edge count the seats each row and column still owes.
About Jesters
Jesters is a free daily logic puzzle from Mind Loft, a placement puzzle in the classic Star Battle family. The royal court is divided into colored regions, and your job is to seat one jester in every row, every column and every court. No two jesters may ever touch, not even at the corners. For two per row, column and court, play Judges.
Every board is generated with a constraint solver and machine-verified twice over: once to guarantee exactly one legal seating, and once to confirm the whole board falls to pure step-by-step deduction, rule out cells, corner the possibilities, and the jesters seat themselves. No guessing, no trial and error, no app required.
A new court convenes every day at midnight Eastern, and the board grows as the week goes on: 8x8 on Monday and Tuesday, 9x9 on Wednesday and Thursday, 10x10 on Friday and Saturday, and an 11x11 Sunday Edition. Play free in your browser, keep a streak, and race the daily leaderboard. More dailies: Sworn, our daily liars puzzle, Alibi, our nightly whodunit, and Suds, our daily sudoku.
