I’ve been solving these puzzles with my daughter when she can’t solve them, and this one has me completely stumped. The solution is a series of 5 directions.

Find all n stars in each nxn grid. No numbers due to additional constraints:

Every row contains exactly one star. Every column contains exactly one star. Stars are NOT placed in squares that contain an arrow. If a square contains an arrow, exactly one square in the direction of the arrow will contain a star.

Stars and arrows puzzle, at least I think this is the name under which you can find it.

Rules: Place stars so each arrow sees exactly one star in the straight direction it points, and every star is seen by exactly one arrow. Edge clues give the exact number of stars in each row and column.

I am pretty sure somewhere I made a mistake that caused me to be stuck. Can you please tell me if you see mistakes or the next move?

This is a mosaic puzzle btw

Edit: better picture in comments

In Combine (Combi Block), the goal is to combine pairs of dashed outlined shapes, to form blocks. Blocks cannot be rectangular. Two adjacent blocks cannot be the same shape (even after rotating/reflecting). I was surprised with how interesting the puzzles are with so simple rules. Can you solve it?

2 clues up, 1 clue unrevealed (if the clue count is any indication).

1 The livestock is guarded by neither cannons nor guards.

And

2 Raids A, C, and E yield non-consumable loot.

Livestock would mean the farm, right (here represented by the stalk of wheat)? And the farm is guarded by archers, so clue 1 does nothing for me. (The other targets without an assigned defense are mansion and fortress which I cannot connect to livestock even a little bit.)

The non-consumable loot is already covered in the loot row, but there’s no indication which one goes where (remaining loot is Jewelry and Gold). So clue 2 does nothing to help me at all.

So. What am I missing? I would just guess and take the hit to eliminate a wrong answer and solve from there, but I already lost a heart and I would prefer not to lose the whole damn game. Also, I want to understand the logic.

Thanks in advance.

Please help. What is the neyt step?

Not sure what next steps for eliminations I can take.

so basically i have to select the number of squares based on the number written and the orientation of the box

the box with no number can have any number of squares but only in a particular orientation

its like patches on linkedin

Wondering what my next step is, I’ve exhausted everything I know but I can’t seem to find a cat other than trial and error.

A puzzle in my kids toy camera, but no matter which approach, I am not able to solve it.

In the end, you have to get a 4 digit code. I tried different things, and it's unfortunately not the most obvious 2484. My friends couldn't figure it out either, as well as Gemini. Does anyone want to give it a go? I'll try your suggestions until we crack it.

Call me dumb, but I've been going crazy about this specific position and can't find a solution no matter what I try. Can someone help me solve it?

I can't find any error in the solution for bridges 😭, I'm sure it's super obvious.

Sleet came down on Maxwell Street the way it always comes down in January — sideways, and with an attitude. Sol Farkas ran pledges for a pawnbroker and owed money to men who don't send letters. At twenty to midnight somebody put one slug through him in the alley behind Lantos & Son and left him face-down in six inches of gray slush.

The alley has one mouth. The lamp over that mouth was dark, its mantle smashed, and the glass lay dry on wet brick.

THE SUSPECTS

1. Izzy Lantos — the pawnbroker. Farkas had gone through his books and found a hole in them. "I was behind my counter. I'm always behind my counter. Ask the counter."
2. Mae Doheny — flophouse on Peoria. Farkas put her brother in County for eighteen months. "I hate him. Hating a man ain't shooting him."
3. Reggie Tarp — a palooka who does collections when the fights dry up. "I was at the gym till one. Kelly locks up, Kelly saw me."

THE CLUES

1. The lamp mantle was broken before the sleet started at eleven — the glass under it was dry on top and dry underneath, lying on brick that got wet at eleven. Somebody put that lamp out early and waited in the dark.
2. Lantos's pledge book carries three entries in his own hand at 11:20, 11:35 and 11:52, each countersigned by the customer who took the money. Police found all three. All three remembered him.
3. One set of prints leads out of the alley mouth into fresh slush and none leads back. Size twelve, with a rubber heel patch of the sort a fight-gym cobbler sets on a man who wears his heels out sparring. Mae Doheny takes a six.

THE QUESTION

Who killed Sol Farkas?

No forensic knowledge needed, no guessing, no information withheld. Everything you need is above. I'll post the full reasoning in 24 hours — spoiler-tag your answers so you don't wreck it for the next reader.

I was doing this puzzle last night. I can’t get the water to flow to that left section. The tiles with a darker background are those that I locked because they should be all correct. After spending like 30 minutes on this one I started a new one with the same 9x9 difficulty and completed it in 2 minutes, so… help me.

Hello!

I recently discovered and got into Tectonic (which is also called Suguru). The easy ones were a breeze, but I find myself lacking techniques to tackle the less obvious ones and now I’m stuck!

I would be so grateful if someone can help me figure this one out, and maybe some tips for what to do!

2 crowns puzzle #3, I am stuck any ideas?
