What you get
- Three puzzle files: A4 and US Letter with four boards to a page, and one with a single board to a page for a tablet.
- The answers in a file of their own, so they never come out of the printer with the puzzles.
- Four boards to a page for printing, and a third file with one to a page — for a tablet, or for a board you can rest a hand on.
- Every board also playable on this site, with its answer a tap away.
How hard are they
Every board here was graded by the reasoning it actually needs, and a solver walked each one to the end before it was kept. None of them needs a guess, and none of them needs a rule you have not been told.
