Cross+A Łamigłówki

Cross+A rozwiązuje i tworzy mnóstwo różnorodnych łamigłówek i zagadek logicznych. Stworzoną łamigłówkę można zachować jako plik graficzny (wspiera formaty BMP, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, SVG, TIFF, metapliki Windows i pliki CorelDRAW). Także dostępny tryb pakietowy tworzenia łamigłówek.

Nonogram ("Obrazek logiczny"; znany również jako "Malowanie liczbami", "Paint By Numbers", "Griddler", "CrossPix", "Hanjie") – łamigłówka polega na malowaniu obrazków przez zaznaczenie właściwych pól diagramu. Liczby z lewej strony i u góry kołumny określają, ile grup znajduję się w rzędzie oraz ile czarnych pól zawiera każda grupa. Pomiędzy grupami musi być co najmniej jedno pole puste.

Program Cross+A może rozwiązywać łamigłówki czarno-białe i kolorowe.

Kakuro (znany również jako "Krzyżówka liczbowa", "Cross Sums") – to łamigłówka liczbowa, o której często mówi się, że jest matematycznym odpowiednikiem krzyżówki. Należy wypełnić diagram ciągami cyfr od 1 do 9, przy tem uważać na pola nieaktywne (czarne). Liczba w prawym górnym rogu czarnego pola to suma cyfr ciągu poziomego, liczba w lewym dolnym rogu – suma cyfr ciągu pionowego. Na przykład: dana suma wynosi 6, więc możliwe rozwiązanie 1 i 5, 2 i 4. Żadna cyfra w ciągu nie może się powtarzać.

Hitori – to logiczna łamigłówka, która polega na skreślaniu powtarzających się liczb, przy tym każda z nich może występować w rzędzie lub kolumnie dokładnie raz. Skreślone pola nie mogą się stykać bokami, tylko kątami. Jasne pola muszą utworzyć jedną spójną białą całość. To znaczy, że żadne z nich nie może być izolowane.

Slitherlink ("Pokropka"; znany również jako "Wielokropka", "Fences", "Loop the Loop", "Dotty Dilemma", "Sli-Lin", "Great Wall of China") – to logiczna łamigłówka, podobna do labiryntu. Należy poprowadzić łamaną linie zamkniętą pomiędzy kropkami i sformować pojedynczą pętlę bez skrzyżowań i odgałęzień. Cyfra oznacza ile odcinków linii otacza kratkę. Jeśli kratka nie zawiera żadnej cyfry, to oznacza że wokół niej może znajdować się dowolna ilość linii.

Link-a-Pix ("Paint by pairs") – to łamigłówka liczbowa w której wszystkie cyfry oprócz jedynki, mają swoją parę. Należy odnaleźć każdą parę i połączyć je w całość. Ilość pól między cyframi z każdej pary musi dorównać liczbie na końcach linii. Linia może być łamana, pozioma i pionowa, lecz nie ukośna. Linie nie mogą się ze sobą stykać ani przecinać.

Fill-a-Pix (znane również jako "Mosaic", "Magipic", "Nurie Puzzle", "Fill-In") – to łamigłówka z zaszyfrowanym obrazkiem. Każda liczba oznacza, ile pól wokół (łącznie z tą z liczbą) należy zamalować. Na przykład, jeśli w polu jest 0, to ani te pole, ani stykające się z nim nie będą zamalowani.

Battleships ("Okręty"; znany również jako "Solitaire Battleships", "Battleship Solitaire") – to znana gra w której należy rozmieścić "okręty" w taki sposób aby nie stykały się one ze sobą ani bokami, ani rogami. Liczby z prawej strony i u dołu pokazują, ile fragmentów okrętów ma być w rzędzie lub kolumnie.

Standardowy rozmiar pola - 10 x 10. Okręty są różnej wielkości. Każdy gracz posiada jeden czteromasztowiec z czterech kratek, dwa trójmasztowcy z trzech kratek, trzy dwumasztowcy z dwóch kratek i cztery jednomasztowce z jednej kratki. Czasem niektóre fragmenty okrętów są już ujawnione.

Hashiwokakero (z japońskiego "Hashi o kakero", znany również jako "Mosty", "Hashi", "Bridges", "Chopsticks" lub "Ai-Ki-Ai") – łamigłówka, w której należy połączyć koła z cyframi ("wyspy") za pomoćą tak zwanych mostów, które muszą być liniami prostymi. Liczba mostów wychodząca z jednej wyspy musi odpowiadać liczbie na niej. Żadna wyspa nie może być izolowana; mosty muszą być poprowadzone w taki sposób, aby z każdej wyspy można było dostać się do jakiejkolwiek innej wyspy.

Masyu ("Koraliki"; znany również jako "Shiroshinju Kuroshinju", "White pearls and black pearls") – to logiczna łamigłówka, w której należy połączyć białe i czarne koła prostymi pionowymi i poziomymi odcinkami, aby sformować jednolitą zamkniętą linie bez skrzyżowań. Przez białe koła linia przechodzi prosto, ale powinna skręcić w poprzedniej lub następnej kratce (albo w dwóch tych kratkach). Gdy linia przecina czarne koło, ona musi skręcić o 90 stopni, przy tym w poprzedniej i następnej kratce skręty są wzbronione.

Akari ("Lampki"; znany również jako "Light Up", "Bijutsukan") – to logiczna łamigłówka. Płansza zawiera białe i czarne kratki; niektóre czarne kratki zawierają cyfry. Należy rozmieścić "żarówki" w białych kratkach w ten sposób, aby cała płansza została oświetlona, przy tym każda żarówka nie może "oświetlać" innej. Światło żarówki oświetla kratki w kierunku poziomym i pionowym, ale może zostać zablokowane przez czarną kratkę. Czarna kratka zawiera cyfry od 0 do 4, wskazując ile żarowek muszą być rozmieszczone obok (nie liczą sie żarówki, umieszczone ukośnie od tej czarnej kratki). Jeżeli kratka nie zawiera cyfry, obok niej znajdować się może jakakolwiek ilość żarówek.

Fillomino ("Polyominous") – prostokątny pokratkowany diagram dowolnego rozmiaru; w niektórych kratkach znajdują się liczby. Należy podzielić płansze na bloki złożone z tylu kratek, jaką jest wartość tej liczby. Bloki tej samej wielkości nie mogą się stykać bokami. Kratki, które nie zawierają żadnej liczby też mogą być połączone w bloki.

Futoshiki (z języka japońskiego, dosłownie "nie równa się"; znany również jako "Mniejsze większe", "Hutoshiki", "Unequal") – to logiczna łamigłówka liczbowa. W kwadratowym diagramie niektóre kratki zawierają już liczby; pomiędzy kratkami mogą znajdować się znaki "<" i ">", które pokazują stosunek między sąsiednimi liczbami. Należy wypełnić puste kratki, uważać przy tym, że każda liczba może znałeżć się w rzędzie lub kolumnie dokładnie raz.

Kuromasu ("Wieże"; znany również jako "Kurodoko", "Where is Black Cells?") – prostokątny diagram z liczbami w niektórych polach. Należy zaczernić pola przestrzegając następujących warunków:

• każda liczba oznacza, ile białych pól "widać" z danego pola w kierunku pionowym i poziomym; "spojrzenie" zatrzymuje brzeg diagramu lub zaczernione pole;
• pola z liczbami są zawsze białe;
• czarne pola nie mogą się stykać się bokami;
• wszystkie białe pola tworżą jednolite białe pole.

Nurikabe ("Wyspy"; znany również jako "Cell Structure", "Islands in the Stream") – logiczna łamigłówka liczbowa. W japońskiej mitologii istnieje potwór "nurikabie" w postaci wielkiej kamiennej ściany, ustawionej w poprzek drogi. Należy odtworzyć mapę z wyspami, przestrzegając następujących zasad:

• informację o każdej wyspie przedstawia liczba, co podaję ilość pól, z których składa się wyspa;
• jakiekolwiek dwie wyspy mogą się stykać tylko kątami;
• wszystkie wyspy zawierają w swoim opisie tylko jedną liczbe;
• między wyspami przepływa rzeka;
• wszystkie pola z rzeką muszą być połączone;
• mapa nie może zawierać żadnego kwadratu rozmiarem 2 x 2, wszystkie pola którego zawierają rzekę.

Sashikabe combines Nurikabe puzzle with Sashigane puzzle. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• All of the black cells must be connected.
• There cannot be any 2 x 2 blocks of black cells.
• All islands must be L-shaped and one cell wide. Two islands may not be connected.
• A circle represents a cell in which an "L" must bend.
• An island must have the same number of white cells as a number in a circle.
• An arrow marks the end of the island's "leg"; the arrow points to the cell in which the "L" bends.

Yajikabe was invented by Naoki Inaba (Japan): he combined Yajilin and Nurikabe puzzles. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• Cells with numbers are always white.
• No 2 x 2 cell area within the grid can contain all black cells.
• All the black cells form one contiguous region.
• A cell containing a number and an arrow represents how many black cells are in the row or column pointed at by the arrow.

Tents ("Namioty"; znany również jako "Tents and Trees") – prostokątny diagram, niektóre kratki którego zawierają "drzewa". Należy rozmieścić obok drzew "namioty", przestrzegając następujących zasad:

• Liczba namiotów jest równa liczbie drzew.
• Każdy namiot styka się z "swoim" drzewem bokami, ale nie rogami. Jeśli spełniony zostanie ten warunek, lokalizacja w stosunku "cudzych" drzew nie ma znaczenia.
• Dwa namioty nie mogą znajdować się w sąsiednich kratkach, nawet wzdłuż przekątnej.
• Liczby po lewej stronie i u góry oznaczają, ile namiotów muszą znaleźć się w tym rzędzie lub kolumnie.

Calcudoku (znany również jako "KenKen", "KENKEN", "KenDoku", "Square Wisdom") – arytmetyczno-logiczna łamigłówka w której nałeży wypełnić diagram dostrzegając zasady, że każda liczba może znaleźć się w rzędzie lub kolumnie dokładnie raz. Każde z pól ma przypisane działanie arytmetyczne, liczby wewnątrz obwiedzionych grubszą linią błoków muszą spełniać to działanie. W odróżnieniu od Killer Sudoku, liczby wewnątrz bloku mogą powtarzać się.

Hidato ("Wąż królewski", "Hidoku"; w języku hebrajskim: "moja łamigłówka") – łamigłówka autorem której jest Gyora Benedek, matematyk izraelski. Diagram dowolnej formy (najczęściej to jest prostokąt lub kwadrat), składa się z pól, które należy wypełnić kolejnymi liczbami, które są połączeni pionowo, poziomo lub ukośnie. W każdej łamigłówce podane są najmniejsze i największe liczby. Także diagram zawiera inne liczby dla ułatwienia gry i zapewnienia jedyności rozwiązania.

Numbrix ("Wąż prosty") – odmiana logicznej łamigłówki. Wygląda jak prostokątny diagram, w niektórych kratkach którego są zawarte liczby. Należy wypełnić puste kratki tak, aby wszystkie liczby zostały połączone kolejno w rzędzie lub kołumnie. Zabrania się połączenie ukośne.

Shikaku ("Działki"; znany również jako "Divide by Squares", "Divide by Box", "Number Area") – to logiczna łamigłówka. Wygląda jak prostokątny diagram, niektóre go pola zawierają liczby. Nałeży poprowadzić linie i podzielić diagram na prostokątne i kwadratowe błoki w ten sposób, aby każdy błok zawierał dokładnie jedną liczbę, która wyznacza powierzchnię tego błoku.

Galaxies ("Działki symetryczne"; znany również jako "Galaktyki", "Tentai Show") – logiczną łamigłówką geometryczną, która wygląda jak prostokątny diagram z kropkami. Należy podzielić płanszę na pola; każde pole musi zawierać tylko jedną kropke. Kropka znajduję się w centrum pola.

Skyscrapers ("Bloki", "Piramidy", "Wieżowce") – odmiana logicznej łamigłówki. Należy wypełnić kwadrat w taki sposób, aby w każdej linii i kolumnie znalazły się różne cyfry. Każda kratka wewnątrz kwadratu zawiera wieżowiec z ilością pięter, która jest równa liczbie w kratce. Kluczem są liczby umieszczone przy brzegu kwadratu, które oznaczają liczbę wieżowców widocznych w danym rzędzie patrząc na niego od strony, z której umieszczona jest liczba.

Hakyuu ("Obszary"; znany również jako "Ripple Effect", "Hakyuu Kouka", "Hakyukoka", "Seismic") – odmiana logicznej łamigłówki. Diagram podzielony jest grubymi liniami na bloki ("pokoje"); niektóre pola zawierają już liczby. Należy uzupełnić bloki liczbami w taki sposób, aby każdy blok zawierał cyfry od 1 do n (n – ilość kratek w bloku). Jeśli rząd czy kolumna zawiera dwie jednakowe cyfry, to one muszą być od siebie oddalone przynajmniej o podobną ilość pól. Na przykład, jeśli w kolumnie są dwa pola z liczbą 5, między nimi muszą znaleźć się przynajmniej pięć innych pól.

Grand Tour ("Pokropka bez cyfr") – logiczna łamigłówka, w której należy połączyć linią kropki na prostokątnej lub kwadratowej płanszy tak, aby sformować pojedynczą pętlę. Pętla nie może się przecinać. Aby zapewnić jedyność rozwiązania łamigłówki, niektóre kropki są już połączone.

Easy as ABC ("ABC"; znany również jako "ABC End View", "Last Man Standing") – logiczna łamigłówka z literami. Należy uzupełnić kwadratową planszę literami (na przykład, od A do E), przy tym każda z nich może znałeżć się w rzędzie lub kolumnie dokładnie raz. Niektóre pola mogą zostać puśte. Litera poza płanszą wskazuje - jaka litera spotka się pierwszą w tym rzędzie (kolumnie).

Clouds ("Chmury"; znany również jako "Rain Clouds", "Radar") – to odmiana łamigłówki "Battleships". Na płanszy dowolnej formy należy rozmieścić prostokąty ("chmury") tak, aby nie stykały się one ze sobą w żaden sposób, nawet rogami. Liczby poza polem oznaczają ilość kratek, zajętych przez chmury. Ilość i rozmiar chmur nie podają się. Strony prostokątów nie mogą zawierać mniej dwóch kratek.

Yajilin ("Pętla i strzałki"; znany również jako "Arrow Ring", "Straight and Arrow") – logiczna kwadratowa lub prostokątna łamigłówka. Płansza zawiera pola ze strzałkami i liczbami; ta informacja potrzebna do rozmieszczenia zaczernionych pól. Celem jest zamknięta nie przecinająca się pętla, która nie może przejść przez pola ze strzałkami albo czarne pola. The grid may contain gray cells that can not be part of the loop.

• Liczby w polu oznaczają ilość czarnych pól w rzędzie czy kolumnie w kierunku strzałki. Pola ze strzałkami nie uważają się za czarne.
• Jeśli pole nie zawiera strzałki i nie jest czarne, to ono musi zawierać segment pętli.
• Liczby w polach wskazują ścisła liczbę czarnych pól. To znaczy, jeśli kratka zawiera "3" i strzałkę, wskazującą w lewo, to oznacza, że w rzędzie z lewej strony od takiej kratki są trzy czarnych pola.
• Czarne pola nie mogą się stykać.
• Na płanszy mogą być czarne pola, na które nie wskazuje żadna strzałka.

Minesweeper ("Saper") jedna z najpopularniejszych gier w systemie Microsoft Windows. Należy umieścić "miny" w polu; każda pole z liczbą podpowiada ile zaminowanych pól stykają się z tym polem. Jedne pole zawiera jedną mine. Pole z liczbą nigdy nie będzie polem z miną.

Minesweeper Battleships ("Saper + Okręty", "Battlemines") łączy w sobie dwie znane łamigłówki. Należy umieścić okręty w ten sposób, aby nie stykali się nawet rogami. W niektórych polach są już cyfry, które wskazują, ile fragmentów okrętów są wokół danego pola.

Heyawake ("Grządki") – logiczna łamigłówka. Wygląda jak prostokątny diagram, podzielony na bloki. Niektóre bloki zawierają już liczby, które wskazują ile czarnych pól musi zawierać blok. Bloki bez liczby mogą zawierać dowolną ilość czarnych pól.

• Czarne pola nie mogą się stykać bokami, tylko rogami.
• Wszystkie białe pola w bloku muszą tworzyć całość.
• Pozioma lub pionowa linia z białych pól może przechodzić przez co najwyżej dwa bloki.

Tenner Grid (w Polsce znany jako "Liczbowóz", gdzie indziej "Od 1 do 10", "Zehnergitter", "Grid Ten") – prostokątny diagram 10 x 10. Należy uzupełnić diagram liczbami tak, aby każdy rząd zawierał cyfry od 0 do 9, które mogą się powtarzać w kolumnach. Liczba na dole diagramu oznacza sumę wszystkich cyfr w kolumnie. Liczby, które stykają się nawet rogami nie mogą być podobne.

Hundred ("Sto", "Setka") – kwadratowy diagram, każde pole którego zawiera cyfry. Należy dodać cyfry w polach tak, aby suma w każdym rzędzie i każdej kolumnie dorównywała 100.

Cross+A może rozwiązać diagramy 3 x 3 i 4 x 4.

Arrows ("Strzałki") – odmiana logicznej łamigłówki, która wygląda jak diagram prostokątny lub kwadratowy, wypełniony liczbami. Cel łamigłówki polega w ustawieniu strzałek poza granicami diagramu. Każda strzałka wskazuje chociażby na jedno pole z liczbą. Liczba oznacza ilość strzałek, wskazujących na pole.

Mathrax ("Ukośne działania") – odmiana logicznej łamigłówki. Należy wypełnić liczbami kwadratowy diagram, przy tym każda z nich może znałeżć się w rzędzie lub kolumnie dokładnie raz. Kwadrat może już zawierać niektóre liczby. Na skrzyżowaniach linii diagramu mogą być kola z dodatkowymi warunkami:

• Liczba i znak operacji arytmetycznej (dodawanie, odejmowanie, mnożenie i dzielenie) - liczba w kole zawiera wynik operacji arytmetycznej nad liczbami w polach wokół koła i stykających się rogami.
• Litera "E" - w polach wokół koła wszystkie cztery liczby parzyste ("E" – od angielskiego "even", parzysty).
• Litera "O" - w polach wokół koła wszystkie cztery liczby nieparzyste ("O" - od angielskiego "odd", nieparzysty).

Str8ts ("Straights", w pokerze - pięć kolejnych kart w jednym kolorze; znany również jako "Kolejne cyfry") – logiczna łamigłówka, której autorem jest Jeff Widderich z Kanady. Kwadratowy diagram zawiera czarne i białe pola. Należy rozstawić liczby w białych polach w ten sposób, aby w odstępach między czarnymi polami utworzyły się zbióry kolejnych liczb (może być, na przykład: 2-1-3-4). W każdym rzędzie i w każdej kolumnie liczby w białych i czarnych polach nie mogą się powtarzać. Zezwala się wykorzystanie liczb od 1 do N, gdzie N - rozmiar strony diagramu. Liczby w czarnych polach nie wchodzą do zbióru kolejnych liczb.

Linesweeper ("Pętla sapera") – logiczna łamigłówka, podobna do "Sapera" ("Minesweeper"). Wygląda jak kwadratowy albo prostokątny diafram; w niektórych polach są zawarte liczby (od 0 do 8). Należy poprowadzić zamkniętą linię przez pola; linia nie powinna się przecinać albo przechodzić przez pola z liczbami. Liczba w polu wskazuje, przez ile pól, rozmieszczonych wokół pola z liczbą, przechodzi linia.

Binairo ("Zera i jedynki"; znany również jako "Binary Puzzle", "Takuzu", "Tohu wa Vohu") – logiczna łamigłówka z wykorzystaniem cyfr "0" i "1". Prostokątny albo kwadratowy diagram należy wypełnić cyframi zgodnie następujących zasad:

• każdy rząd i każda kolumna zawierają tyle samo zer i jedynek (lub o jedną liczbę więcej dla diagramu z nieparzystą ilościa pól);
• trzy kolejne cyfry nie mogą być jednakowe;
• nie może być dwóch kolumn, ani dwóch rządów z identycznym układem cyfr.

Walls ("Ściany") – logiczna łamigłówka autorstwa japończyka Naoki Inaba. Należy rozstawić w białych polach poziome i pionowe odcinki tak, by sumaryczna długość wszystkich odcinków wychodzących z czarnego pola odpowiadała liczbie w tym polu.

Dominosa ("Dominosa Omnibus", "Solitaire Dominoes", "Domino Hunt") – logiczna łamigłówka z kostkami domino. Na pole podane są liczby; należy odtworzyć granicy między kostkami domino.

Patchwork ("Parkiet"; znany również jako "Skrawki", "Tatami") – kwadratowy diagram, podzielony na jednakowe bloki. Należy uzupełnić każdy blok liczbami od 1 do liczby, równej ilości pól w bloku. Każdy rząd i każda kolumna muszą zawierać jednakową ilość cyfr. Sąsiednie pola stykające się bokami nie muszą zawierać podobne cyfry.

W niektórych łamigłówkach są wykorzystywane litery. Cross+A może rozwiązywać łamigłówki z cyframi i literami.

Knossos (miejscowość na greckiej wyspie Krecie, słynna z ruin pałacu Minosa, zwanego labiryntem kreteńskim) – prostokątny lub kwadratowy diagram liczbowy. Należy podzielić diagram na bloki tak, aby w każdym znalazłaby się pojedyncza liczba, która jest równa długości obwodu bloku.

Neighbours ("Państwa", "Sąsiedzi") – to logiczna łamigłówka, która wygląda jak dowolny diagram. W niktórych polach są zawarte liczby albo pytajniki. Należy podzielić diagram na bloki z jednakową ilością kratek. Każdy blok musi zawierać tylko jedną kratkę z liczbą (albo z pytajnikiem); ta liczba wskazuje, ile "sąsiadów" ma ten blok. Dwa bloki są uważane za sąsiednie jeśli posiadają wspólną granicę. Jeśli blok zawiera kratkę z pytajnikiem, to może posiadać dowolną ilość "sąsiadów".

Four Winds ("Cztery wiatry", "Promienie", "Line Game") – logiczna łamigłówka, która wygląda jak kwadratowy albo prostokątny diagram z czarnymi i białymi polami. Należy poprowadzić proste linie wychodzące z czarnych pól przez wszystkie białe pola. Liczba w czarnej klatce oznacza, ile białych pól zajmują linie, połączone z tym czarnym polem. Linie nie mogą się przecinać.

Shakashaka ("Ukryte prostokąty"; znany również jako "Proof of Quilt") – logiczna kwadratowa lub prostokątna łamigłówka. Diagram zawiera białe i czarne pola; w niektórych czarnych polach są już cyfry (od 0 do 4). Należy rozstawić w białych polach czarne trójkąty tak, aby sformować prostokątne i kwadratowe białe obszary. Niektóre białe pola mogą być puste. Obszary mogą być rozmieszczone pionowo, poziomo albo ukośnie, nie mogą mieć wspólnych stron. Cyfra w czarnym polu oznacza, ile trójkątów stykają się bokami z polem z liczbą.

Kakurasu (znany również jako "Index Sums") – łamigłówka kwadratowa albo prostokątna, w której należy rozstawić czarne i białe pola. Na gorze podane są sumy wartosci czarnych pól w kolumnach (wartosci po prawej). Z lewej strony – wartosci dla rzędów (wartosci na dole).

Seethrough ("Drzwi"; znany również jako "Doors", "Open Office") – logiczna łamigłówka kwadratowa lub prostokątna, w której każda komórka oznacza "pokój". Należy zamknąć albo otworzyć "drzwi" pokojów. Przez otwarte drzwi widać inny pokój lub kilka pokojów. Komórka z liczbą oznacza, ile komórek widać z niej, z wyjątkiem samej siebie. Z każdej komórki musi być droga do jakiejkolwiek innej.

Lighthouses ("Latarnie morskie") – logiczna łamigłówka, zawierająca czarne pola z liczbami ("latarnie morskie"). Liczba oznacza, ile pól zajmowanych przez okręty jest przez daną latarnię oświetlonych. Latarnia morska oświetla okręty w jednym rzędzie albo kolumnie, nawet gdy między nią a okrętem są inne okręty albo latarnie. Każdy okręt oświetlony jest przez co najmniej jedną latarnię. Okręty nie mogą bezpośrednio sąsiadować z latarniami ani z sobą (w tym stykać się rogami).

Lighthouse Battleships połaczenie łamigłówek "Latarnie morskie" i "Okręty". Wygląda jak kwadratowa lub prostokątna płansza, która zawiera "latarnie" – kratki z liczbami. Liczba oznacza sumę fragmentów okrętów w wierszu i kołumnie z latarnią. Kratka z liczbą nie może zawierać fragment okrętu. Okręty nie mogą stykać się z sobą ani z latarniami nawet rogami.

Tapa ("Wąż sapera") – łamigłówka której autorem jest Serkan Yürekli z Turcji. W kwadratowym lub prostokątnym diagramie część pustych pól należy zaczernić tak, aby czarne pola utworzyły spójną całość (wielokąt) przy tym muszą spełniać następujące warunki:

• Czarne pola stykają się bokami.
• Czarna całość nie może obejmować kwadratów 2 x 2.

• Biały obszar musi zawierać co najmniej jedno pole z literą.

Tren – łamigłówka logiczna autorstwa japończyka Shinichi Aoki. W języku japońskim to oznacza "parking" (każdy blok - to samochód, a diagram - parking). Łamigłówka wygląda jak prostokąt lub kwadrat, z liczbami w niktórych polach. Należy rozmieścić na płanszy bloki 1 x 2 i 1 x 3. Każda liczba – to część jednego bloku. Ta liczba wskazuje, o jaką ilość pól można zruszyć blok. Blok można posuwać tylko w kierunku jego krótkiej strony.

Choco Banana is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. A rectangular or square grid contains numbers in some cells. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid. An area of black cells must form a rectangle or square. An area of white cells must not form a rectangle or square. If a black or white area contains a number, it indicates the size of this area. An area may contain more than one cell with a number.

Wataridori (from Japanese, literally "migratory birds") is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. A rectangular or square grid is divided into regions. A grid contains circles (empty or with numbers) in some cells. The aim is to connect circles in pairs by drawing a line that goes horizontally and vertically through the centers of cells. A cell may be visited by a line at most once. A line may connect circles with equal numbers, empty circles, or a line may be drawn between an empty circle and a circle with a number. A number in a circle indicates how many regions are visited by the line. A region may be visited by the line at most once.

Chenburo ("Chain Block") is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. A grid contains numbers or question marks in some cells. The aim is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• The black cells form blocks. No blocks touch each other horizontally or vertically (only diagonally).
• A number represents the amount of black cells in the block. Question marks can be used instead of clue numbers. Each question mark can represent any nonzero integer.
• Each block contains exactly one number or a question mark.
• All blocks form "chains". A chain is a group of two or more blocks, connected through their corners.
• Two blocks belonging to the same chain may not have the same shape and size, counting rotations and reflections as the same.

Wanrumuwandoa ("One Room One Door") is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. A rectangular or square grid is divided into regions ("rooms"). A region may contain a cell with a number. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• A cell with a number indicates how many cells in the region must be blackened. In regions without a number any amount of cells may be blackened.
• Blackened cells should not share an edge.
• All the white cells must be connected inside a region (it's possible for a region to have no white cells).
• If two white cells are orthogonally adjacent across a region boundary, they form a "door". There can be no more than one door between any two regions.
• All the white cells must form an orthogonally continuous area.

Haisu ("House") is a logic puzzle invented by William Hu. A square or rectangular grid is divided into regions. The aim is to draw a line ("path") from S (start) to G (goal) that goes through all cells. The line cannot cross itself. The line can visit each region more than once. When the line passes over a cell with a big number N, it is on its N^th entry to the region. If a region has a small number n in the top left corner, the line must visit this region a total of n times.

Obitaru (from Japanese, literally "orbital") is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. A grid contains white and black circles; black circles may contain numbers. The goal is to draw square or rectangular loops ("belts"). The loops may cross each other, but parallel lines cannot pass through the same cell. Loops must pass through all white cells. There may be loops that do not pass through any white circle. A black circle should be inside exactly one loop (there can be no more than one black circle inside the loop). If the black circle contains a number, it will be equal to the number of white circles through which the loop passes around this black circle.

Square Jam is a logic puzzle. A rectangular or square grid contains numbers in some cells. The aim is to divide the grid into square regions. A cell with a number indicates the side length of a region. A region may contain any amount of numbered cells. The grid may contain regions without numbers. A grid dot must not be shared by the corners of four regions.

Cocktail Lamp ("Kakuteruranpu") is a logic puzzle. A rectangular or square grid is divided into regions. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• All black cells in a region must be connected horizontally or vertically (they form a "block").
• A cell with a number indicates how many cells in the region must be blackened.
• In a region without a number any amount of cells may be blackened (all cells may stay white).
• When two cells are orthogonally adjacent across a region boundary, at least one cell must be white.
• All blocks of black cells must be connected to each other through their corners.
• No 2 x 2 cell area within the grid can contain all black cells.

Word Finder ("Word Search", "Word Seek", "Word Sleuth", "Mystery Word") – kwadratowy lub prostokątny diagram z literami. Należy odnałeżć słówka ukryte w diagramie. Po diagramach można poruszać się poziomo i pionowo; linia może skręcać pod kątem prostym. Każda litera może być wykorzystana tylko w jednym słowie.
