Logic Grid Puzzles - Word Games For Brain Training Description
Long before Sudoku hit the scene there were Logic Grid Puzzles. Developed by Lewis Carroll (besides writing Alice In Wonderland, he was also a mathematician and logician), these logic puzzles rely on deducing a complex solution from only a few pieces of information! You're probably thinking, "Whoa, that sounds really nerdy!" And you're right. But it's also really addicting. With only a few clues, you'll be able to fill in the entire 6 grid puzzle after you put your brain to work.

Plus, these types of word problems and logic puzzles are showing up with increasing regularity on standardized academic tests like the SAT, LSAT, MCAT and GRE. So beyond just being a fun past time, they're also a great way to prepare yourself for higher level learning.

The app is free, and includes a starter pack of puzzles so you can see if Logic Grid Puzzles are your kind of fun. If they are - there are already more packs with many more puzzles in place you can purchase from within the app - and I'm hard at work writing more puzzles to add in as soon as possible.

Sudoku and Ken Ken puzzles are fun, but I think you'll agree that solving word problems pushes your brain in ways those math based puzzles don't!

Sorry for the INCREDIBLY long lay off between getting you new packs. I was working hard on some other new word game apps (check out Letter Box!) and sort of lost track of my daily puzzle writing. I'll do my best to be more on task in 2016.

Here's what's new:

New puzzle pack added
You can now swap color schemes on the setting screen.
Gone Fishin' was missing its last clue, it's back in there now!
Fixed a bunch of other typos.
Happy Puzzling!

Sorry for the long delay in getting you a new pack of puzzles - my wife and I had a baby so there were several weeks when I wasn't working on logic grids (or sleeping much). But, the new pack is here!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback and suggestions. I'll work on your UI ideas for the next update.

Here's what's been changed:

-- The Righteous Pack has been added
-- A Better Cheetah has been reworded slightly as some users were finding it too confusing.
-- Perfection has an additional piece of information

I have also put an answer key for all puzzles up on my website: www.rossmcnamara.com

If you have any suggestions for the app, or if you're stuck on a puzzle - please drop me a line at ross@rossmcnamara.com

Thanks again for using my app!!!!!!
1.2.3 2014-06-08
Ok. The new check functionality was causing too many problems, so I just took it back out for now. I'll try to get it back in during a future update. Sorry for all the updates and for the bug problems. Everything should be back to normal and working great now.
1.2.2 2014-06-07
NOTE: Until 1.2.3 is live, the check answers functionality is not working right. If you finish a puzzle - it still works correctly and it will still tell you if you got it the answer correct. But if you use it while still in the middle of a puzzle, disregard what it says! Thanks, and sorry, a new version should be up soon.

Despite this new check answers functionality working in testing, it once again doesn't work when downloaded from the store. Sorry (again). Yet another new version has been submitted. Sorry for the deluge of updates for you to download.

Critical Bug Fix (not working, sorry).

For some reason the new 'check answers' functionality I added wasn't working right in the last update. Really really sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

Notes from 1.2.1

A few tweaks:

I changed the 'check answers' functionality a bit. You can now check your progress as you solve the puzzle to see if you've made any errors before you get all the way to the end. While this isn't the full fledged hint system some users would like - hopefully it will be an alright middle ground until I figure out a good way to handle hints.

For puzzlers who are anti-hints, this shouldn't affect you in any way. It just means you'll have to have stronger will power than before so you can resist checking your answers as you go.

I also updated the clues to A Long Time Ago in The Gnarly Pack as several users reported being unable to solve it.

The next pack is is still being written, but I hope to have it to you soon!
1.2.1 2014-06-06
NOTE: There seems to be a bug in the check answers functionality I added (see below). I have submitted an update. If you check completed puzzles it should still work correctly, but checking an in-progress puzzles will currently tell you your puzzle is wrong, even if you're correct. A new version has been submitted to Apple for review. Very sorry!

Sorry for the delay in getting you a new pack, but it's finally here - and so are a bunch of other updates!

-- Some users were having difficulty with the app not saving their progress. So, I overhauled the memory management system. It's much faster now and should fix any issues people were having!

-- I got a pretty angry review about how the app wasn't allowing color blind people to play. I have added a new theme to solve this problem. You can get to it from the packs screen. Sorry if you are color blind and you felt personally offended by the previous versions of my app!

-- The Gnarly Pack is now in the app bringing you 25 more totally gnarly logic grid puzzles!

-- Users who have selected to use bold system fonts in their general phone settings were having some clues cut off. This problem is now fixed!

A few people mentioned wanting a 'hint' button. I'm sort of anti hints, so I haven't included it as of this version. But I'm stilling mulling over a potential way to handle these in the future!
1.1.1 2014-02-18
No new pack yet, sorry! The Olympics are too distracting!

In the meantime, some users have been reporting issues with their progress not saving when they quit the app! I am very sorry about this, and I've put in a fix that should squash that bug. I know it's super frustrating to have to redo puzzles, so I sincerely apologize for the added mental strife I've put you through.

Thanks again for all the great feedback and I'll do my best to have another pack of 25 puzzles to you as soon as possible!
1.1 2014-01-25
Thanks for all the positive feedback! It's been fun responding to stuck puzzlers and hearing your ideas for improvements. Lots of new stuff in this update:

Added a brand new pack... The Bodacious Pack!

I also added a 'buy all current and future packs' option. Since a lot of you already got the initial packs and probably would have gotten this feature had it been available for the start I am putting it at only $0.99 for the first weekend. I'll raise it up after that, but I didn't want people who already purchased packs to be upset, so this seemed like a good way to introduce the option.

Fixed Dwarf History in the Radical Pack. If you were stuck on that one, it wasn't you - it was me.

Fixed some typos, thanks for pointing those out.

Squashed some bugs.

Thanks for using my app, I hope you're liking it!!!
1.0.1 2013-12-03
Sorry if you were experiencing any trouble with the Radical Pack, those troubles should now be behind you!

Thanks to sugarhi1357 for pointing out that some of the puzzles in the Radical Pack seemed to not be solvable in version 1.0. Turns out the database for the Radical Pack had gotten switched. I have corrected it now, so any frustrations you were encountering were (probably) not your fault!

I have now triple checked the puzzles and everything should be a-ok. Thanks for supporting an independent app developer, and hope this hasn't caused you too much strife. A new pack of puzzles should be headed your way soon!
