Logic & Grid Games

Logic and grid games are the most structurally varied category in the archive. These games share one trait: solving requires working from constraints rather than recalling a specific word or fact. The archive covers 5 titles with 37,980 catalogued items.

Nonocross is a nonogram (picture-cross) game where row and column clue numbers tell you exactly how many consecutive cells to fill in each line. The Nonocross satellite site renders every level grid in full, computes forced-cell logic for each row, and shows which rows give you an immediate entry point before you need to cross rows against columns. Currently 60 levels are archived with full grid data, row and column clues, and logic notes.

Monkey Wrench presents category-based word association puzzles where you match words to their group. The satellite site documents bonus packs, daily puzzles, and the main answer set. Over 3,400 answer entries are stored in the main data file, making Monkey Wrench one of the deeper archives in this category.

Word Search Explorer is a grid-based hidden word game where you locate words in a letter matrix. The solving approach differs fundamentally from anagram games: you must scan rather than construct. The satellite site organises answers by pack and level.

Solitaire Associations combines solitaire card mechanics with word association, creating a hybrid format. Each level presents categories and word lists that you must match through the card reveal sequence. The data structure uses a clue-pipe format storing category names and their associated words.

The grid category also includes Cryptogram, which covers the classic letter-substitution cipher puzzle format. The cryptogram archive spans five locales, though the current data file has a known formatting issue and the populated count is pending a repair run.
