The Smudged Scoresheet — Daily puzzle for 2026-09-28

Very Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

Help the organiser work out who played each round of the club tournament, and with which piece.

The club's tabletop tournament is over. It ran in rounds, with one player in each: first the warm-up, then the qualifier, then the semi-final, and last of all the final. The warm-up and the qualifier were the two early rounds. Marla, Osgood, Winnie and Rafael each played one round, and each moved a different piece around the board. But when the organiser packed up, juice spilled on the scoresheet, and now nobody can read who played when or with which piece. All that's left are a few things the players remember. Can you put the sheet back together before the next game starts?

Clues

1. One of the two early rounds, the warm-up or the qualifier, was Marla's.
2. The qualifier round was not Marla's.
3. Osgood played early on, in the warm-up round or the qualifier round.
4. Winnie did not play in the final round.
5. Marla played with the disc.
6. The player with the disc and the player with the cube had back-to-back rounds.
7. The cone came out in the round just before or just after the one with the cube.
