RYB - red, yellow, blue(purple)

123 the symbols from left to right

1 = square/shield

2 = fire/volcano

3 = swirl/flower

 

Start with the big clue:

 

Y? B? Y?

B1 ?? ??

?1 Y1 B?

 

There is now only one place the tall clue can go, in the right column.

There is only one place the long clue can go, in the top row.

There is only one place the final clue can go, in the top right corner.

 

Y2 B? Y?

B1 ?3 ??

?1 Y1 B3

 

Now fill in the gaps so that there are 3 of each symbol, 3 of each color, and no 2 squares are the same.

 

?1 must be R1 because we already have B1 and Y1.

Y? must be Y3 because we already have Y1 and Y2.

B? must be B2 because we already have B1 and B3.

 

Y2 B2 Y3

B1 ?3 ??

R1 Y1 B3

 

The remaining 2 squares must be R2 and R3.

 

Y2 B2 Y3

B1 R3 R2

R1 Y1 B3

 

Hope that helps! :)

Thank you so much! Definitely did, even though I still don't quite understand it. :P

You can only have 3 of each symbol, so you need to overlap the clues. The 2 clues for symbol 2 (the fire) overlap in the top left corner. The 2 clues for symbol 1 (shield/square) overlap at the bottom middle square and also with the one already in the center square. This means that no 2 squares are the same. Hope that helps!

 

Here is the solution:

 

R2 Y2 Y3

B2 R1 R3

Y1 B1 B3

 

By the way, in your tutorial you say "Some patterns may have multiple possibilities so one possible solution may not solve it." Almost all the puzzles have only one possible solution, there are a couple with two though.

Thank you both! I will check the video and Moggy you are spot on. Thanks for the knowledge.

Hi Guys. I'm going to post this again because many of you seem to be missing it.

 

 

TDN HAS A GUIDE FOR THE DAILY HERE

 

It explains the point of the puzzle, how to go about solving it step by step and some examples of solved puzzles. I've noticed many of the puzzles being posted in this thread could be solved quite easily if people actually knew what they needed to do in order to solve them.

I have 4 red and 4 shields? Is that an error or is there a way to solve this?

It means they overlap!

So it can be solved like this http://i50.tinypic.com/ddl0ki.jpg

(If knowing that they overlap is all you needed to solve it, feel free to overlook my link :D I just solved it because I'm now addicted)
