A-TO-L FIT-IN
Insert the letters A to L, one per square,
so that no two consecutive letters in
alphabetical order touch, not even at a
corner. Four letters have been placed to
get you started.TILE SCRAMBLER
Below are four tiles. How many
different ways could you arrange them
in a row? Consider those with the letter
A to be interchangeable; for example,
“TABA” counts as only one
arrangement, even though you could
change the order of the two A tiles.
STAR SEARCH
Place stars in seven cells of
this grid so that every row,
every column and every
outlined region contains
exactly one star. Stars must
never be located in adjacent
cells, not even diagonally.
Can you find the solution?
