Nonogram (picross)Etch A picture in the numbersFill the squares the row and column clues force, and a picture appears.SlitherlinkHedge Draw one closed loopDraw one closed loop so every number has exactly that many sides on it.ShikakuPlot Divide the whole boardEvery number is the size of the plot it belongs to, so cut the board into rectangles until each number has exactly its own.Sliding block puzzleParker Get the red one outEverybody has blocked you in, every block is stuck on one axis, and there is one gap in the wall.Network puzzlePaths Link every townOne depot, a scatter of towns, a river in the way. Lay track until they all connect, and pay as little as you can for it. The terrain gets meaner as the week goes on.Queens placementJesters Seat the courtSeat one jester per row, per column, and per colored court, with no two ever touching. Thursday through Sunday seat two apiece.Inequality grid with a liarFib One clue is lyingThe open end of each sign points at the larger number, but one of them is lying. Solve the grid, then name the liar.Find the hidden ruleAxiom Find the hidden ruleOne hidden rule splits the board, and your handful of tests must tell five candidate rules apart.Set logicVenn Sort the overlapsPlace twelve words across seven regions so the count on every circle adds up.Results table deductionStands Rebuild the resultsEveryone played everyone once, so rebuild the full results table from the few surviving facts.Whodunit deduction gridAlibi Solve the nightly whodunitFour suspects and three deduction boards narrow tonight's case to exactly one answer.Liar puzzleSworn Spot the liarsFive sworn statements contain an exact number of lies, and one of them names the thief.Knowledge puzzleHearsay Deduce what they don't knowTwo people each know one detail, and their conversation narrows the shortlist to a single answer.Analytical reasoningDocket One setup, five deductionsA setup, a handful of conditions, and five questions about what those conditions force. The reasoning section a well known standardized test ran for decades, then retired.Data sufficiencySuffice Decide what is enoughEight questions you never answer. Two statements each, and you say whether they settle it.Route puzzleChomp Eat them in orderA cast of mascots to eat in order, and every square you touch stays yours for the rest of the run. Nothing chases you and nothing is on a clock. The only things in your way are where you have already been and a few bolted-down bleachers, and the board is tight enough that finishing takes most of it.

Two kinds of logic puzzle

The grid puzzles are the ones you may know from puzzle books. Etch is a nonogram: fill the squares the row and column counts force and a picture appears. Hedge is slitherlink: draw one closed loop so every number has that many sides on it. Plot is shikaku: cut the board into rectangles so each number owns exactly its own. Parker is the sliding block puzzle where you get the red one out.

The deduction puzzles give you statements instead of a grid. Alibi narrows four suspects to one across three boards. Sworn has five sworn statements with an exact number of lies. Hearsay works out what two people can and cannot know. Docket and Suffice are the reasoning sections of two well-known standardized tests, one setup and five questions, or two statements and a verdict on whether they settle it.

Where to start

Etch or Plot if you like a grid. Alibi if you like a whodunit. Axiom if you want something nobody else has: one hidden rule and a handful of tests to tell five candidate rules apart.

Questions

Do any of these need a guess?

No. Every board is proved to fall to logic alone by a solver that is independent of the one that generated it.

Are they free?
