Reason one placement at a time

Turn a clue into fewer possible slots.

CurioGrid asks you to arrange five objects. Start with what a clue actually establishes, then combine it with another clue. All examples below are fictional.

A distance of four fixes the ends

With five numbered slots, a difference of four can only mean slots1 and5. If the coin and shell differ by four, they occupy the two ends. That alone does not tell you which object is on which end.

Adjacency narrows the next slot

If another clue puts the leaf next to the coin, then a coin in slot1 requires the leaf in slot2; a coin in slot5 requires the leaf in slot4. Keep both possibilities until another clue distinguishes them.

Between does not mean immediately between

An object between the bell and key can have other objects beside it. The clue requires its slot number to be greater than one endpoint and less than the other. It does not decide which endpoint comes first.

Unresolved is different from contradicted

A clue involving an unplaced object cannot yet be evaluated. The game labels it unresolved. A contradicted clue means the currently placed objects conflict with that specific statement; revise the arrangement or undo a move.

Check the complete arrangement

Every clue fitting a partial board is not enough to finish. Fill all five slots and choose Check arrangement. Hints can reveal a placement, but they do not move an object or mark the cabinet solved.

Download a progress backup, then restore it in the other browser. The restore replaces the entire saved collection after confirmation. It includes board positions, undo history, checks, hints and solved states, but no player account.
