Gruzzler

Gruzzler is a unique puzzle game that challenges your logical thinking, optimization, and problem-solving skills.

Unlike traditional number puzzles, Gruzzler allows you to discover the clues yourself.

When you're done you can share your clues!

During the pandemic, like a lot of people, I got hooked on Cracking The Cryptic. Watching Simon and Mark solve impossible-looking puzzles became a nightly ritual.

A friend challenged me: could I create a logic puzzle that was discoverable - where you find your own clues - but used no math?

Gruzzler became my nights-and-weekends project. When I wasn't in the lab solving genetics puzzles, I was working on this. It took longer than I'd like to admit.

I hope you enjoy it.
