Five-friend clue puzzles
💡 The idea
Each friend has exactly one thing, and each thing belongs to exactly one friend. A grid keeps track.
🪜 The steps
- Draw a grid: friends down the side, things across the top.
- Mark ✓ for “has” clues and ✗ for “does not have”.
- When a row has only one empty box, it must be ✓. Same for a column.
- A ✓ means ✗ for the rest of its row and column.
⚠️ Watch out
- Keep going round the grid: one new ✓ often unlocks the next.
🎯 Try these
- Three friends, three pets. A has the cat. B doesn’t have the dog. Who has the dog?
Answers: 1) C (B has the fish)
