Diagramming and Notation

Visual Tools for Success

The backbone of conquering Logic Games is creating effective diagrams. Good notation helps you track complex information, spot inferences, and avoid mistakes.

Common Diagram Styles

  • Sequencing: Use lines and dashes to represent positions (e.g., 1 - 2 - 3).
  • Grouping: Use columns, circles, or boxes to represent groups.
  • In/Out: Use plus (+) and minus (−) signs for elements included or excluded.

Notation Tips

  • Use abbreviations for names or items.
  • Mark direct rules on your diagram.
  • Use arrows for order and slashes for restrictions.

Why This Matters

Clear diagrams can help solve even the toughest puzzles, and practicing these skills improves your speed and accuracy.

Practice Makes Perfect

Try drawing diagrams for everyday tasks, such as planning chores for the week, to get faster at this crucial skill.

Examples

  • Drawing a row of boxes to represent seats and filling in known assignments.

  • Using a grid to track which students can be in which science club.

In a Nutshell

Mastering diagrams and shorthand notation is essential for solving Logic Games efficiently.
