In 72 Unique Logic Puzzles, Gazmend Ceno introduces Albcell, a 10-by-10 number puzzle built from alternating diamonds beside circles. Every row must contain the digits zero through nine once. The same rule applies to each column, then repeats inside every irregular cell group. Odd numbers belong in diamonds. Even numbers belong in circles. Ceno opens with a complete guided example that handles odd-number deductions first, then moves to even numbers. The explanation shows how one placement can settle another part of the grid. The seventy-two puzzles then place that system inside changing artwork. One grid takes the shape of a seated cat. A later puzzle coils a snake through the cells. Completed grids appear in the solution section at the back of the book.
Gazmend Ceno’s 72 Unique Logic Puzzles gives number placement a visual personality that makes every puzzle feel distinct. Ceno’s best idea is to build the cell groups into the artwork, so the picture changes how the eye approaches the same underlying rule. The coiled-snake puzzle near the end is a perfect example, since the dark body becomes a working region of the grid. The deduction then feels tied to the image itself. And there's a crash-course for newbies! In an opening walkthrough, Ceno solves one puzzle in a conversational voice, showing how a single number can open the next step. The solution section is equally useful, reproducing every completed grid for checking. I recommend this to adult puzzle readers who enjoy visual number logic. Very highly recommended.
