Seat two judges 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 judge 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 Judges
Judges is a free daily logic puzzle from Mind Loft, a placement puzzle in the Star Battle family with two stars. The bench is divided into colored courts, and your job is to seat exactly two judges in every row, every column and every court. No two judges may ever touch, not even at the corners. For one per row, play Jesters.
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 judges seat themselves. No guessing, no trial and error, no app required.
A new bench is seated every day at midnight Eastern: a 10x10 from Monday to Saturday, graded so the week climbs, and a 12x12 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.
