helloooo

i love this game and have played it on other websites but am relatively new to this website - and its bar far the most challenging!!! i was just wondering - are all the puzzles on this site solvable using only logic and no guesses AT ALL? or do you need to guess at some of them.

Also any advice on the pesky triangles would be helpful - ive managed to complete a few triangle ones, but only really stupidly simple ones, nothing really. (i dont mean triddlers - i mean the normal griddlers with triangles in)

thank you all

All puzzles are solvable by using pure logic. If you get stuck with a puzzle, use the Get Help in Solving forum and one of the users will help you to find the next logic step.

For me, triangles can be rather easily placed since they usually make a edge of a wall or roof of a house. Also, depending on the puzzle, you might just have a few of them & then are rather obvious to place. Then, look @ the colors used in the triangles & you can figure out where some of the solid colored clues go.


I remember when I first found this site & saw them, I got TOTALLY lost because I was just used to the basic b/w blocks in a puzzle. When I realized what role they play, I began to see that there is a LOT MORE design wise you can do!

You can also filter what kind of puzzles you want, so try searching for some smaller ones with triangles to get the hang of them.


If you want to try puzzles with triangles that might make sense to the image, try this section in the themes:

Games and Toys: Games: Puzzles: Rubik

Everybody (should) know what a Rubik's Cube is! :hello:

With triangles, I typically save them for last. I fill in nearly all the solid square places I can figure out and then the triangles are a lot easier.

I never have to guess but there are some times when the solution is so obscure that it can take a long time to figure it out. So I do have empathy for you.

Solving puzzles with triangles is the equivalent of solving multi-color puzzles.  A 2-color puzzle with (all four types of) triangles uses the same logic as solving a 6-color puzzle without triangles.  The triangles require a bit more attention because of the 2 colors and a direction instead of a solid color, but it helps me if I treat them like a different color.

In principal it´s pure logic but now and a gain you will have to guess. None the less a logic guess is recomended. Look at the parts you have solved and follow in the same direction
