ChatGPT Manual

Solve a puzzle

Paste the complete puzzle and ask for steps. Check the steps against the rules. A contest or a graded quiz is not the place to outsource the answer.

Give it the whole puzzle

Solve a puzzle for me and solve this puzzle for me are searches for a worked answer. A puzzle solver GPT exists for that chat style. In a normal chat, paste every constraint, not a photo cropped so a rule is missing. Ask: show the candidate and the rule it satisfies, one step at a time. I will stop you if a step breaks a rule.

Logic grids, ciphers you invented, and scheduling puzzles are fair practice. A live competition, a hiring test, or today's newspaper contest is not. Using a model there is cheating if the rules say the work is yours. This page will not help you hide that.

Check, because the confident step can be wrong

Models drop a constraint and then solve the easier puzzle. Read each step against your original text. If it says 'therefore' and the rule it cites is not in the prompt, the chain is broken.

Riddles with a pun are a different shape. Use the riddle solver page so you do not force a logic grid onto a joke.

Questions

Can I send a photo of the puzzle?
Yes, if image upload is on your plan and you have the right to share the image. Ask it to transcribe the rules before solving, and correct the transcription.
Why did it ignore one clue?
The clue was easy to treat as flavor text. Repeat that clue as its own sentence and ask which step uses it.
Is the puzzle GPT better than normal chat?
It may ask for the puzzle in a set format. The checking habit is the same. You still verify the steps.
