Lift-Off on the Roof — Daily puzzle for 2026-10-21

Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

At a rooftop drone workshop the wind scattered the instructor's notes, and now nobody knows who flew from which mat, what they photographed, or which filter they used.

On a bright afternoon, a community photo workshop met on a rooftop to try taking pictures with drones. The launch mats sat in a row along the edge of the roof, in order from mat A to mat D, and each pilot claimed one. Each pilot picked something different to photograph: the fountain, the mural, the bridge or the skyline. Each one also clipped a different colored filter onto the camera before takeoff. The instructor scribbled notes as the drones went up, but a gust of wind grabbed her pages and blew them across the roof. All that's left is a handful of scraps. Can you put the afternoon back together?

Clues

1. Mats A and B went to Calvin and Tessa.
2. Of mats C and D, one was Jonah's and the other belonged to whoever used the yellow filter.
3. The mural was photographed from the mat right after the one used for the fountain.
4. Whoever photographed the bridge took off from mat C.
5. The orange filter was used on the mat just before the one where the green filter was used.
6. Calvin flew from a mat earlier in the row than the pilot with the orange filter.
