The Lighthouse Run — Daily puzzle for 2026-10-28

Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

Edith, Walter, Ruby and Sylvia race the wind to bring supplies to a lighthouse before dark.

The lighthouse keeper has run short of supplies and needs them before dark. Edith, Walter, Ruby and Sylvia meet at the harbor and load the little boat while sea spray blows over the wall. They split the day between them. Each one takes a watch, carries one supply up to the tower, and raises one signal flag so the keeper can see how the trip is going. The crossing is short, but the wind is picking up, and it could turn into a long day.
