What it trains

Logic grids

Logic grids train deduction from clues: ruling things out, combining facts, and reaching an answer you can be sure of.

How to solve it

Three steps

  1. Step 1: Start with the clues that tell you something for certain.

  2. Step 2: Cross out what can't be true — 'not' clues are very useful.

  3. Step 3: When only one choice is left for someone, it must be theirs.

  • Each child has exactly one of each kind of thing, and no two children have the same one.
  • Facts and 'not' clues rule out choices until only one is left for each child.

Questions

Is this an IQ test?

No. These are reasoning puzzles like those found in IQ-style tests, made for practice and fun. We don't measure intelligence or give IQ scores.

Which level should my child start at?

Each level shows suggested ages, but start where it feels easy and move up after a round with two or three stars.

Can I print these puzzles?

Yes. Every puzzle type prints as a black-and-white sheet with a separate answer key, on A4 or US Letter.
