Welcome to the world's largest web site devoted to logic puzzles! We've got more than 25,000 unique puzzles available for play, both online and the old fashioned way - with pencil and paper. Feel free to solve online just for fun, or, for an added challenge, register a free account and compete against thousands of other solvers to make it into our Logic Puzzle Hall of Fame!

Logic puzzles come in all shapes and sizes, but the kind of puzzles we offer here are most commonly referred to as "logic grid" puzzles. In each puzzle you are given a series of categories, and an equal number of options within each category. Each option is used once and only once. Your goal is to figure out which options are linked together based on a series of given clues. Each puzzle has only one unique solution, and each can be solved using simple logical processes (i.e. educated guesses are not required).

A custom-labeled grid is provided for every puzzle, like the one you see to the right. The grid allows you to cross-reference every possible option in every category. You can eliminate pairs you know aren't true with an X, and pencil in pairs you know are related with an O. If you know, for example, that Lauren wasn't born in 1961, you can add an X in the box where the Lauren column and 1961 row meet. Similarly, if you know that Bryant was born in 1971, you can add an O in the appropriate box. Furthermore, since every option can only be used once in any given puzzle, you can eliminate the four other options for Bryant in that category (1937, 1946, 1961, 1975) and the four other options for 1971 (Anahi, Jayden, Lauren and Nikolas).

Continue doing this for every clue you're given. Eventually you will have filled in enough X's and O's on the board that you will then be able to use simple logic to deduce the solution to the puzzle. For example, if A = B, and B = C, then A must equal C. Similarly, if A = B, and B =/= D, then A must not equal D.

The Best Gifted Resources and Curriculum We've Found: Mostly Free!

Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world: From the podcast publisher: "Each year, TED hosts 80 of the world's most fascinating people: Trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons and geniuses. Each week, we'll release a new talk to inspire, intrigue and stir the imagination. For best effect, plan to listen to at least three, start to finish. (They have a cumulative effect.) If you have a curious soul and an open mind, we think you'll be hooked."

And " If you're a teacher, consider incorporating TEDTalks into your courses. Distributed under a Creative Commons license, TEDTalks are freely available for use in the classroom - just credit the source and don't distort the speakers' intended meaning."

Our two favorite companies for ordering gifted resources and units of study:

Prufrock Press: Fav resources for gifted materials (workbooks, journals, activities): As a teacher I ordered many materials from this site.

More free gifted resources:

Brilliant-Free Test Prep: Free problem solving and test prep. Problems are created by people all over the world, including olympiad champions and university professors.

The Museum of Modern Art, NYC: Free online activities.

The New York Times: The Learning Network-teaching and learning with the New York Times, online free lesson plans for grades 3-12.

National Geographic: The lesson plans and curriculum on this site were written by educators and have been tested in the classroom.

OK, so these next programs aren't free, but still worth checking out:

LEGO Robotics Program: Teaches robotics and programming, labs, and simple machines...PC/MAC compatible, and hands-on.

Some lesson plans are available free as a download from this website or purchasable in printed form.
