What you get
Books put to the test
Morning Journal Brief compares puzzle books by grade, print quality, and how the difficulty is labeled.
Rules settled with a source
A disputed rule gets a ruling, and the ruling cites the published rulebook or a standard reference.
Solving, not guessing
Each issue takes one technique, from sudoku chains to logic-grid deductions, and shows it worked all the way through.
