Logic puzzle template
One grid, one rule, no paragraph of instructions. The Witness (Thekla, 2016) teaches the rule with a panel whose answer you can see. Picross S (Jupiter, 2017) teaches it with numbers along the edge. If you have to explain, the panel is wrong. The AI logic puzzle maker is this grid. The AI puzzle maker is the wider shelf it sits on.

What makes a logic puzzle
Logic puzzle: puzzles solved by pure deduction.
The games that set the standard are The Witness (Thekla, 2016), Picross S (Jupiter, 2017) and Islands of Insight (Lunarch Studios, 2024).
What the template starts with
The logic puzzle template starts with one grid and one rule to deduce from. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: read the rule, deduce, fill in.
What to change first
Show a solved tiny panel, then an unsolved one with the same rule. If the second needs text, you changed the rule without admitting it.
2D or 3D
The logic puzzle template starts in 2D.
