The four Logic Dogs daily puzzles from August 7, with every clue written out, a step-by-step walkthrough, and the final answer.
Each puzzle is a row of locations (Park, Beach, Trail, and so on). Every location holds exactly one item from each category, and the clues tell you how the items relate.

Difficulty ratings compare each puzzle with every other puzzle of the same size and level, and the hardest daily puzzles so far have their own page. New to these puzzles?
