Docket (Mind Loft)

Docket brings back the logic game, the reasoning format that a standardized admissions test ran for decades before retiring it. Each day has one small world with a name, for example The Oath Book: counsel calls six witnesses, F, G, H, J, K and L, one at a time in positions 1 to 6, and each is either sworn or affirmed. Seven numbered conditions follow, such as J is called before F, or no two witnesses in a row are both sworn.

You then answer five questions about the setup, one at a time, each with five options. Typical questions ask which list could be accurate, or what must be true if one extra fact is added. The conditions stay on screen the whole time, because the deductions you make for one question are meant to be reused on the next. Above the conditions sits a sketch row: tap a letter from the tray, then a position, to try an order out, and a notes box takes anything else. You can also cross off answer options you have ruled out.

Your score counts correct answers, and a progress bar and clock show how far through the five you are. A new setup arrives every day at midnight Eastern, with a harder one on Sundays. It suits anyone who has studied for that test, or who enjoys ordering and grouping puzzles that are written out in words rather than drawn as a grid.
