Logic Grid Puzzles from Egghead Games brings the classic clue-and-grid puzzle from puzzle magazines to phones and tablets without ads. Its US App Store description says there are never any ads or nags or gimmicks, and the Google Play listing calls it a logic puzzle app with no ads. You get 100 free puzzles of increasing difficulty, starting with small 3x4 grids and building to 4x7. Unlimited Smart Hints read your current board and tell you which clue to use next, which makes it a good way to learn deduction, though hints need an internet connection. Auto-X, multi-level undo and an error check keep the focus on logic, and the app supports iCloud sync, VoiceOver, Larger Text and Dark Mode. When the free set runs out, extra 100-puzzle volumes cost $2.99 each, or an Unlimited Puzzles subscription costs $4.99 a month on the US App Store. We compared documented features and published prices.
