How to solve logic puzzles

If you have never solved a logic grid puzzle and you need a visual explanation, here’s a simple video. The same concept is used to solve bigger puzzles. Typically you have a set of clues to read through and a grid with categories to mark your answers on. Use the clues and logical deduction to solve the puzzle. It may take a few times through for the clues to be useful so keep reading and marking information in the grid.

Whether or not you need to put a mark in each box is up to you. Some people stop filling in the boxes when they have found a solution for each item in the puzzle. Some people like to put in x and o, some like y or n, and some put in a question mark if it is a possible clue. Similar to working on a sudoku puzzle, everyone has their own style.

In the Thanksgiving logic puzzle, you are trying to figure out 3 things about each of the guests. What did each person bring to dinner, what did they want to do after dinner, and how did they arrive at dinner. There is only one answer that matches each person. For example, there will not be two people who bring turkey. Some puzzles are easier than others and some require you to make a few logical assumptions.
