About the puzzle: Suguru is a challenging logic grid puzzle, also known as Tectonic or Number Blocks. It is a number-placement puzzle based purely on logic, similar to Sudoku, Futoshiki, and the closely related Ripple Effect puzzle. The goal: Fill each region with numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., until the region is full, but make sure that the same numbers do not touch, even diagonally! Every puzzle has exactly one solution, which can be found through logic reasoning. No guessing required. Are you up for the challenge? Can you solve them all?
