What is a Logic Puzzle?

Logic puzzles come in all shapes and sizes, but the kind of puzzles we offer here are most commonly referred to as "logic grid" puzzles. In each puzzle you are given a series of categories, and an equal number of options within each category. Each option is used once and only once. Your goal is to figure out which options are linked together based on a series of given clues. Each puzzle has only one unique solution, and each can be solved using simple logical processes (i.e. educated guesses are not required).

A custom-labeled grid is provided for every puzzle, like the one you see to the right. The grid allows you to cross-reference every possible option in every category. You can eliminate pairs you know aren't true with an X, and pencil in pairs you know are related with an O. If you know, for example, that Lauren wasn't born in 1961, you can add an X in the box where the Lauren column and 1961 row meet. Similarly, if you know that Bryant was born in 1971, you can add an O in the appropriate box. Furthermore, since every option can only be used once in any given puzzle, you can eliminate the four other options for Bryant in that category (1937, 1946, 1961, 1975) and the four other options for 1971 (Anahi, Jayden, Lauren and Nikolas).

Continue doing this for every clue you're given. Eventually you will have filled in enough X's and O's on the board that you will then be able to use simple logic to deduce the solution to the puzzle. For example, if A = B, and B = C, then A must equal C. Similarly, if A = B, and B =/= D, then A must not equal D.

What is the 2nd letter in bath ?

Kakuro (also known as "Cross Sums" , "Kakro" ) is a logic puzzle, a mathematical equivalent of crosswords. The puzzle consists of a playing area of filled and empty cells similar to a crossword puzzle. Some black cells contain a diagonal slash from top left to bottom right with numbers in them, called "the clues". A number in the top right corner relates to an "across" clue and one in the bottom left a "down" clue.

The object of a kakuro is to insert digits from 1 to 9 into the white cells to total the clue associated with it. However no digit can be duplicated in an entry. For example the total 6 you could have 1 and 5, 2 and 4 but not 3 and 3.

Hitori (from Japanese "Hitori ni shite kure"; literally "let me alone") is played on a grid of squares. At the beginning, each cell contains a number. The goal is to paint out some cells so that there are no duplicate numbers in any row or column, similar to the solved state of a Sudoku puzzle (except with black squares added to the grid).

Orthogonal connections are important as well; painted-out (black) cells cannot be connected orthogonally, and the other cells must be connected orthogonally in a single group (i.e. no two black squares can be adjacent to each other, and all un-painted squares must be connected, horizontally or vertically, to create a single shape).

Slitherlink (also known as "Fences" , "Loop the Loop" , "Dotty Dilemma" , "Sli-Lin" , "Great Wall of China" ) is a logic puzzle. It was invented by Nikoli Puzzles in Japan.

Slitherlink is played on a rectangular lattice of dots. Some of the squares formed by the dots have numbers inside them. The objective is to connect horizontally and vertically adjacent dots so that the lines form a single loop with no loose ends. In addition, the number inside a square represents how many of its four sides are segments in the loop.

Link-a-Pix (also known as "Paint by Pairs" ) consists of a grid, with numbers filling some squares; pairs of numbers must be located correctly and connected with a line filling a total of squares equal to that number. Squares containing '1' represent paths that are 1-square long. Paths may follow any horizontal or vertical direction. Paths are not allowed to cross other paths.

There is only one unique way to link all the squares in a properly-constructed puzzle. When completed, the squares that have lines are filled; the contrast with the blank squares reveals the picture.

Fill-a-Pix (also known as "Mosaic" , "Magipic" , "Nurie Puzzle" , "Fill-In" ) consists of a grid with number clues scattered in various places. Each number shows how many of the nine squares - the one with the number plus the eight around it - should be filled in.

It is necessary to determine which squares are filled in and which should remain empty until the hidden picture is completely exposed.

Battleships (also known as "Solitaire Battleships" , "Battleship Solitaire" ) is a logic puzzle based on the Battleships guessing game. In a square grid of 10 x 10 small squares, an armada of battleships is located. There is one battleship of 4 squares, two cruisers of 3 squares, three destroyers of 2 squares, and four submarines of 1 square. Each ship occupies a number of contiguous squares on the grid, arranged either horizontally or vertically. The boats are placed so that no boat touches any other boat, not even diagonally.

The numbers on the bottom and on the right of the grid show how many squares in the corresponding rows and columns are occupied by ships. Occasionally some squares may contain given ship or water segments as hints to help start the puzzle. The object is to discover where all ships are located.

Hashiwokakero (from Japanese "Hashi o kakero"; literally "build bridges"; also known as "Hashi", "Bridges", "Chopsticks", or "Ai-Ki-Ai" ) is a type of logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid with no standard size, although the grid itself is not usually drawn. Some cells start out with (usually encircled) numbers from 1 to 8 inclusive; these are the islands. The rest of the cells are empty.

The goal is to connect all of the islands into a single connected group by drawing a series of bridges between the islands. The bridges must follow certain criteria:

• They must begin and end at distinct islands, travelling a straight line in between.
• They must not cross any other bridges or islands.
• They may only run orthogonally.
• At most two bridges connect a pair of islands.
• The number of bridges connected to each island must match the number on that island.

Masyu (also known as "Shiroshinju Kuroshinju", "White Pearls and Black Pearls" ) is a type of logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid of squares, some of which contain circles; each circle is either "white" (empty) or "black" (filled). The goal is to draw a single continuous non-intersecting loop that properly passes through all circled cells. The loop must "enter" each cell it passes through from the center of one of its four sides and "exit" from a different side; all turns are therefore 90 degrees.

The two varieties of circle have differing requirements for how the loop must pass through them:

• White circles must be traveled straight through, but the loop must turn in the previous and/or next cell in its path.
• Black circles must be turned upon, but the loop must travel straight through the next and previous cells in its path.

Light Up (also known as "Akari", "Bijutsukan" ) is a logical puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid of white and black cells. The player places light bulbs in white cells such that no two bulbs shine on each other, until the entire grid is lit up. A bulb sends rays of light horizontally and vertically, illuminating its entire row and column unless its light is blocked by a black cell. A black cell may have a number on it from 0 to 4, indicating how many bulbs must be placed adjacent to its four sides; for example, a cell with a 4 must have four bulbs around it, one on each side, and a cell with a 0 cannot have a bulb next to any of its sides. An unnumbered black cell may have any number of light bulbs adjacent to it, or none. Bulbs placed diagonally adjacent to a numbered cell do not contribute to the bulb count.

Fillomino (also known as "Polyominous" ) is a type of logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid of squares. Some cells of the grid start containing numbers, referred to as "givens". The goal is to divide the grid into blocks. The block must contain the number of cells indicated by the number in the cells of the block. The block cannot touch a similarly sized block, horizontally or vertically. Cells without numbers may form blocks necessary to complete the puzzle.

Futoshiki (from Japanese, literally "not equal"; also known as "Hutoshiki", "Unequal" ) is a logic puzzle. The puzzle is played on a square grid, such as 9 x 9. The objective is to place the numbers 1 to 9 (or whatever the dimensions are) in each row, ensuring that each column also only contains the digits 1 to 9. Some digits may be given at the start. In addition, inequality constraints are also initially specifed between some of the squares, such that one must be higher or lower than its neighbour. These constraints must be honoured as the grid is filled out.

Kuromasu (from Japanese "kuromasu wa doko da", literally "Where is Black Cells?" ; also known as "Kurodoko" ) is played on a rectangular grid. Some of these cells have numbers in them. Each cell may be either black or white. The object is to determine what type each cell is.

The following rules determine which cells are which:

• Each number on the board represents the number of white cells that can be seen from that cell, including itself. A cell can be seen from another cell if they are in the same row or column, and there are no black cells between them in that row or column.
• Numbered cells may not be black.
• No two black cells may be horizontally or vertically adjacent.
• All the white cells must be connected horizontally or vertically.

Nurikabe is a logic puzzle ("nurikabe" in Japanese folklore is an invisible wall that blocks roads and upon which delays in foot travel are blamed; other names for the puzzle: "Cell Structure" , "Islands in the Stream" ). The puzzle is played on a grid, typically rectangular with no standard size. Some cells of the grid start containing numbers.

The goal is to determine whether each of the cells of the grid is "black" or "white" according to the following rules:

• All of the black cells must be connected.
• Each numbered cell must be part of a white island of connected white cells.
• Each island must have the same number of white cells as the number it contains (including the numbered cell).
• Two islands may not be connected.
• There cannot be any 2 x 2 blocks of black cells.

Sashikabe combines Nurikabe puzzle with Sashigane puzzle. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• All islands must be L-shaped and one cell wide. Two islands may not be connected.
• A circle represents a cell in which an "L" must bend.
• An island must have the same number of white cells as a number in a circle.
• An arrow marks the end of the island's "leg"; the arrow points to the cell in which the "L" bends.

Yajikabe was invented by Naoki Inaba (Japan): he combined Yajilin and Nurikabe puzzles. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• Cells with numbers are always white.
• No 2 x 2 cell area within the grid can contain all black cells.
• All the black cells form one contiguous region.
• A cell containing a number and an arrow represents how many black cells are in the row or column pointed at by the arrow.

Tents ( "Tents and Trees" ) is a logic puzzle invented by Léon Balmaekers (Netherlands). The task is a grid of squares, some of them contain trees. The goal is to place tents in some of the remaining squares, in such a way that the following conditions are met:

• There are exactly as many tents as trees.
• The tents and trees can be matched up in such a way that each tent is directly adjacent (horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally) to its own tree. However, a tent may be adjacent to other trees as well as its own.
• No two tents are adjacent horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
• The number of tents in each row, and in each column, matches the numbers given round the sides of the grid.

Calcudoku (also known as "KenKen" , "KENKEN" , "KenDoku" , "Square Wisdom" ) is a mathematical and logical puzzle loosely similar to Sudoku. It was invented by a Japanese mathematics teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto. The objective is to fill the grid in with the digits 1 through N (where N is the number of rows or columns in the grid) such that:

• Each row contains exactly one of each digit.
• Each column contains exactly one of each digit.
• Each bold-outlined group of cells (block) contains digits which achieve the specified result using the specified mathematical operation: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), and division (÷).
• Unlike Killer Sudoku, digits may repeat within a block.

Hidato (from Hebrew: "my puzzle" ; also known as "Hidoku" ) is a puzzle invented by Gyora Benedek, an Israeli mathematician. The goal of Hidato is to fill the grid with consecutive numbers that connect horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

In every Hidato puzzle the smallest and the highest number are presented in the grid. There are more numbers on the board to help to direct the player how to start the solution and to ensure that Hidato has only a single solution.

Numbrix is a type of logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid of squares. Some of the cells have numbers in them. The object is to fill in the missing numbers, in sequential order, going horizontally and vertically only. Diagonal paths are not allowed.

Shikaku (also known as "Divide by Squares" , "Divide by Box" , "Number Area" ; "Shikakunikire" , from Japanese, literally "cut into squares" ) is a logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid. Some of the cells in the grid are numbered. The objective is to divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces such that each piece contains exactly one number, and that number represents the area of the rectangle.

Galaxies (also known as "Tentai Show" , "Sym-a-Pix" ) consists of a rectangular grid with dots. The goal is to divide the rectangle into exactly one region per dot that is two-fold rotationally symmetric around the dot.

Skyscrapers consists of a square grid. The goal is to fill in each cell with numbers from 1 to N, where N is the size of the puzzle's side. No number may appear twice in any row or column. The numbers along the edge of the puzzle indicate the number of buildings which you would see from that direction if there was a series of skyscrapers with heights equal the entries in that row or column.

Hakyuu (also known as "Ripple Effect" , "Hakyuu Kouka" , "Hakyukoka" , "Seismic" ) is a logic puzzle published by Nikoli. The puzzle consists of a rectangular grid of any size divided into polyomino sections called "rooms". Each room must be filled with each of the numbers from 1 to the number of cells in the room. If two identical numbers appear in the same row or column, at least that many cells with other numbers must separate them.

Grand Tour is a logic puzzle. It is a grid of points that all need to be connected by a single loop. To begin the puzzle, a few of the points are already connected to insure a unique solution.

Easy as ABC ( "ABC End View" , "Last Man Standing" ) is a square grid, whose cells are to be filled by a range of letters (e.g. A through E), with each different letter occurring exactly once in each row and column, and the other cells remaining empty. The letters outside the grid show which letter will come across first from that direction.

Clouds (also known as "Rain Clouds" , "Radar" , "Weather Watch" ) is a variant of Battleships puzzle. The task is to mark certain cells of the rectangular grid as belonging to a cloud. Clouds occupy an area of rectangular shape and their width and height is at least two cells. No clouds touch each other, not even diagonally. Numbers outside the grid show the quantity of cells occupied by clouds in corresponding row or column.

Yajilin (also known as "Arrow Ring" , "Straight and Arrow" ) is a type of logic puzzle published by Nikoli. The goal is to draw a single continuous non-intersecting loop that connects the centers of the grid cells. The loop may not pass through any cells which contain arrows. The loop may only travel horizontally or vertically, and never diagonally. Any cell that does not have an arrow and which is not part of the loop must be shaded in black. Black cells do not touch each other orthogonally (they do not share a side). A cell containing a number and an arrow represents how many black cells are in the row or column pointed at by the arrow. There may be black cells that are not accounted for by the cells with arrows and numbers. The grid may contain gray cells that can not be part of the loop.

Minesweeper is well-known by the game in Microsoft Windows. The task is to place mines into empty cells in the grid. The digits in the grid represent the number of mines in the neighbouring cells, including diagonal ones.

Minesweeper Battleships (also known as "Battlemines" ) combines Battleships puzzle with Minesweeper game found on many computers. The aim is to locate the position of the fleet in the grid. The ships do not touch each other, not even diagonally. A cell with a number indicates how many ship pieces are adjacent to it. Ships are not allowed on the numbered cells.

Heyawake (from Japanese, "divided rooms" ) is played on a rectangular grid. The grid is divided into rectangular "rooms". Some rooms may contain a single number. These rooms must have the designated number of cells painted black. Other rooms may have zero or more cells painted black.

• Black cells must not be orthogonally connected.
• All white cells must be interconnected.
• A line of connected white cells must not connect more than two rooms together.

Tenner Grid (also known as "From 1 to 10" , "Zehnergitter" , "Grid Ten" ) consists of a rectangular grid of width ten cells. The task is to fill in the grid so that every row contains the digits 0 through 9. In columns the numbers may be repeated. The bottom numbers give the sum of the numbers in column. The digits in contiguous cells (even diagonally contiguous cells) must be different.

Hundred is a square grid of 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 , whose cells are to be filled by some digits. The task is to fill additional digits in required cells such that the sum of numbers in each row and each column equals to 100.

Arrows is a type of logic puzzle. It is played on a rectangular grid filled with numbers. The task is to place arrows outside the grid. Every arrow can go horizontally, vertically or diagonally and points to at least one cell with a number. The numbers indicate the total number of arrows that point to them.

Mathrax consists of a square grid. The goal is to fill in each cell with numbers from 1 to N, where N is the size of the puzzle's side. No number may appear twice in any row or column. Circles with additional conditions may be situated on intersections of lines inside the grid.

• A number and a sign of mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) - a number is a result of an operation execution with numbers in diagonally adjacent cells.
• A letter " E " ("even") - all numbers in four cells are even.
• A letter " O " ("odd") - all numbers in four cells are odd.

Str8ts (also known as "Straights" ) is a logic puzzle, invented by Jeff Widderich (Canada). It is a grid, partially divided by black cells into compartments. Each compartment, vertically or horizontally, must contain a straight - a set of consecutive numbers, but in any order (for example: 2-1-3-4). The aim is to fill all white cells with the numbers from 1 to N (where N is the size of the grid). No single number can repeat in any row or column. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight.

Linesweeper (also known as "Loop" ) is played on a rectangular grid. The object is to create a single continuous non-intersecting loop that connects the centers of the grid cells. The numbered cells can't be passed through; the number in the cell means how many of the 8 surrounding cells should contain some part of the solution path. (For example, "0" means that 8 surrounding cells can't be passed through at all).

Binairo (also known as "Binary Puzzle" , "Takuzu" , "Tohu wa Vohu" ) is played on a rectangular or square grid. The goal is to fill in the grid with digits "0" and "1" according to the following rules:

• There are as many digits "1" as digits "0" in every row and every column (or one more for odd sized grids).
• No more than two cells in a row can contain the same number.
• Each row is unique, and each column is unique.

Walls is a logic puzzle, invented by Naoki Inaba (Japan). The task is to place a horizontal or a vertical line in every blank cell. A number in a black cell indicates the total length of the segments connected to that square.

Dominosa (also known as "Dominosa Omnibus" , "Solitaire Dominoes" , "Domino Hunt" ) is a logic puzzle. On the board the domino numbers are shown, but the borders between dominoes are missing. The task is to restore borders between domino tiles.

Patchwork (also known as "Tatami" ) consists of a square grid divided into regions ("rooms"). Each room must be filled with each of the digits from 1 to the number of cells in the room. Every row and every column must contain the same amount of each digit. Same digits must not be orthogonally adjacent.

In some puzzles letters are used instead of digits. Cross+A can solve such puzzles also.

Knossos is a logic puzzle ("Knossos" is a palace on Crete; this palace is connected with ancient legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur). It is played on a rectangular grid. Some of the cells in the grid are numbered. The goal is to divide the grid into regions (“rooms”) such that each region contains exactly one number. The number represents the border’s length of the region.

Rekuto ( "Recto" ) is played on a rectangular or square grid. Some of the cells have numbers in them. The aim is to divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces such that each piece contains exactly one number, and that number represents the sum of the width and height of the rectangle.

Neighbours is played on a grid of irregular shape. Some cells of the grid contain numbers. It is necessary to divide the grid into a number of connected regions of an equal number of cells. Every region contains exactly one cell with a number (or a question mark) in it, and has as many neighbours as the number indicates. Regions are neighbours when they share a part of their border.

Four Winds ( "Line Game" ) is played on a rectangular or square grid with black and white cells. All black cells contain numbers. The aim is to draw a horizontal or a vertical line in each white cell. Each number represents the total number of white cells occupied by the lines from that number. Lines cannot enter other numbered black cells or intersect with other lines.

Shakashaka (also known as "Proof of Quilt" ) is a logic puzzle, invented by Nikoli. The task is to place one of the four isosceles right triangles in some white cells. Each triangle must occupy exactly half of its cell, but may be in one of four orientations. Every contiguous white region must be a rectangle or a square. A number in a black cell indicates how many triangles are adjacent to that cell by sides.

Kakurasu ( "Index Sums" ) is played on a rectangular or square grid. The goal is to color in some of the cells to satisfy the clues. The numbers across the top and down the left are the clues, and equal the row and column totals for the black squares. The numbers across the bottom and down the right are the values for each of the squares in the rows and columns (the first square in a row or column is worth 1, the second 2, the third 3, etc.).

Mochikoro ( "Mochinuri" ) is a logic puzzle. It consists of a grid, with numbers in some cells. The aim is to blacken some cells according to the following rules:

• The black cells divide the grid in rectangular areas ("islands") of white cells.
• No two islands may share an edge, but all of the islands must be connected to each other through their corners.
• Each numbered cell must be a part of a white island. Some white areas may not include a cell with a number.

Seethrough (also known as "Doors" , "Open Office" ) is a logic puzzle, where every cell denotes a "room". The aim is to close some "doors" between rooms. Open doors allow to look into other rooms. The number in the cell indicates the total number of rooms visible in horizontal and vertical direction from that room (the room itself excluded). There can be no isolated rooms; this means that you should be able to reach all rooms by moving horizontally and vertically.

Lighthouses is played on a rectangular or square grid. It contains black cells with numbers ("lighthouses"). The number in the cell represents the number of ships lit by the lighthouse. A ship is lit if it is in the same row or column as the lighthouse, also ships behind other ships or lighthouses. Each ship is lit by at least one lighthouse. The ships are placed so that no ship touches any other ship or lighthouse, not even diagonally.

Lighthouse Battleships combines Battleships with Lighthouses puzzle. A cell with a number is a lighthouse, and it indicates the total number of ship pieces that are in the same row or column as the lighthouse. Ships can not touch the lighthouses, not even diagonally.

Tapa is a logic puzzle created by Serkan Yürekli (Turkey). The goal is to blacken some cells of the grid. All the black cells form one contiguous region. No 2 x 2 cell area within the grid can contain all black cells. Clue cells with numbers may not be filled in and tell the length of each consecutive black cell block in the eight surrounding cells. If there's more than one digit in a cell, the groups of black cells have to be separated by at least one white cell. Question marks can be used instead of clue numbers. Each question mark can represent any nonzero integer.

Fobidoshi ( "Forbidden Four" ) is a logic puzzle, invented by Naoki Inaba (Japan). It is played on a rectangular or square grid. Some of the cells have circles in them. The aim is to place circles into empty cells; all the circles must form an orthogonally continuous area. A line of connected circles must not contain more than 3 circles.

Island (also known as "Tents Island" , "Airando" ) is a logic puzzle invented by Naoki Inaba (Japan). It consists of a grid, with numbers in some cells. The aim is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• The white cells form a single island. Each numbered cell must be a part of this island.
• The numbers indicate how many unnumbered white cells can be reached from that cell by moving horizontally or vertically. Numbered cells block access.

Dominion is a logic puzzle created by Naoki Inaba (Japan). It consists of a grid, with letters in some cells. The aim is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• The black cells must form dominoes which can touch each other diagonally.
• Cells with letters are always white.
• The black cells divide the grid into regions of white cells.
• Cells with the same letter belong to the same white region.
• White regions without a cell with a letter are not allowed.

Tren is a logic puzzle invented by Shinichi Aoki (Japan). The Japanese name of this puzzle means "parking" (each block is a car, and a grid is a car park). The puzzle contains a grid with numbers in some cells. The goal is to locate some blocks in the grid, having the size either 1 x 2 or 1 x 3 . Each number in the grid should be part of a block, indicating the amount of the possible movements of the block. Blocks can only move in the direction of their short edge.

No Four in a Row is played on a grid of irregular shape. Some cells of the grid contain 'X' and 'O'. The task is to fill in the grid so that four consecutive identical symbols never appear in any row, column or diagonal.

Corral (also known as "Bag" , "Cave" ) is a logic puzzle invented by Nikoli. The aim is to draw a single closed loop along the grid lines that does not intersect itself. The loop goes around all numbers. The numbers in the grid indicate how many cells inside the loop can be seen horizontally and vertically from that cell, including the cell itself. Question marks can be used instead of clue numbers. Each question mark can represent any nonzero integer.

Foseruzu ( "Four Cells" ) is a type of logic puzzle published by Nikoli. The goal is to divide the grid into regions of exactly four cells. The number inside a cell represents how many of its four sides are segments of region borders (including the border of the grid).

Faibuseruzu ( "Five Cells" , "Solomon's Keep" ): the grid needs to be divided into regions of exactly five cells.

Sutoreto ( "Sutoretokurosu" , "Straight Cross" ) is a logic puzzle created by Naoki Inaba (Japan). It is played on a rectangular or square grid with black and white cells. Some white cells contain numbers. The aim is to place a number into every white cell. The numbers in a horizontal or vertical stripe of consecutive white cells must form a sequence of numbers without gaps, but in any order (for example: 2-4-1-3).

Renban consists of a square grid divided into regions. The aim is to fill in each cell with numbers from 1 to N, where N is the size of the puzzle's side. No number may appear twice in any row, column or region. All numbers in a region must form a sequence of consecutive numbers, but in any order (for example: 5-3-4).

Buraitoraito ( "Bright Light" ) is played on a rectangular or square grid. It contains black cells with numbers. The number in the cell represents how many stars can be seen from this cell. A star is visible from the black cell, if it is in the same row or column as this cell, but not behind other black cells.

Irasuto ( "Illustration" ) is a logic puzzle created by Naoki Inaba (Japan). A rectangular or square grid contains white and black cells with numbers. The goal is to blacken some cells of a grid according to the following rules:

• A number in a white cell represents the number of empty white cells that can be seen from that cell.

A journey to the soul of Brazil

On this spectacular journey, you will discover the exuberant nature of the local people, but not only that.

Brazil is known as the land of a thousand contrasts and has the reputation of having the greatest cultural diversity in the world.

Thus, each region has its customs and costumes, its music and its cuisine, moreover its very specific vocabulary, most often linked to the particular environment in which it develops.

In Iguaçu, there is astonishing ethnic diversity. From the Indian descendant to the Lebanese, and from Japanese to Portuguese all living in harmony and creating rich and permanent cultural exchanges across origins and religions. In Pantanal, the gauchos, or cowboys of south and central Brazil, who live with their cattle herds in the grassy plains have created a whole culture of their own.

In Amazonia, you will feel the indigenous influence through the way the locals live. Whether in their cooking, architecture, or religious thought … the Amerindian heritage is present everywhere.

In the Northeast, along the vast beaches between São Luís and Fortaleza, you will encounter people descendent from European settlers and the indigenous populations of the coast. Here, there is a well developed fishing culture as well as the famous Sertanejo tradition, which is based on the hard life on the arid and torrid lands of the region. In Salvador de Bahia, you will discover the essence of Afro-Brazilian culture, one of the strongest in Brazil, and at the origin of fascinating syncretic religions, such as Candomblé and Umbanda.

In Minas Gerais, all the baroque and colonial heritage of Brazil will unfold before your eyes, not forgetting the famous warm hospitality of the “Mineiros.”

Finally in Rio de Janeiro, you will find the Brazil that we all love in the Samba and the sweet Bossa Nova played in the bars of Lapa. You should also experience the fervor of the carnival and its “ensaios” – the rehearsals for the final show.

With the Grand Tour of Brazil, you will leave with one simple wish, to come back and enjoy the beauty and the joy of one of the most wonderful countries in the world!

This new and charming accommodation in Manaus is the right place for those looking for luxury and calm at the same time as being in the town centre near the famous Amazonas Theatre. It’s the same style as the Anavilhanas Lodge with its quality rooms and services and a calm atmosphere.

Necessary steps | brazil: the grand tour.

Brazil: The Grand Tour

A devout disciple of Schopenhauer, Machado de Assis — the founding father of Brazilian literature — subtitled “The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas,” his most famous work, “Epitaph of a Small Winner.” De Assis’s fictional alter-ego, cleaving to a pessimistic weltanschauung, argued that while existence is a zero-sum game, he had managed to get out ahead by not having children, and bestowing on them the same load of suffering.

Set in Rio de Janeiro, “The Posthumous Memoirs” also owes a considerable debt to Sterne’s “Tristram Shandy,” with its short chapters and discombobulating of the space-time continuum. Bras Cubas is something of an ambulatory figure, although, admittedly, this is a dubious distinction in the era before the invention of the Segway. (A personal transportation system that, for sheer willing upon the human body the withering away of its legs, takes the proverbial biscuit.)

Anyway, in the spirit of De Assis and Sterne, let me offer you my latest peregrinations, which consisted of a 15,000-mile sweep through the Americas, north and south, that produced a series of giant carbon footprints, while giving me hardly any opportunity to stretch my legs. I blame the kids – but then I would, wouldn’t I? True, I only had 50 percent of mine with me, yet even two small boys are a sufficient drogue to brake any possibility of sustained walking, unless it’s on a treadmill facing a marathon screening of all the Harry Potter movies. An observation that could easily form the frontispiece quote of my own posthumous memoirs, to be subtitled: “Epitaph of a Total Loser.”

Walk 1, Sao Paulo Airport. Distance: 260 meters. Time: 2.5 hours. Don’t be fooled by the comparatively short distances and level terrain into thinking that this will be an easy hike. Consisting of four separate stages: Domestic Transfers Check-in Desk; TAM ticketing desk; TAM Check-in and Security, the walk – or “queue,” as it is colloquially known – can become especially arduous if you undertake it, as we did, in the immediate aftermath of a strike by Brazilian air traffic controllers.

Still, there’s plenty to see along the way; mostly Brazilians, one of whom, when I tried to quicken our pace, called me the Portuguese equivalent of the son of a flute. As ever with walking, it’s an activity that really tells you where you are: orientation is bred in the femur. You may have flown in at 6:30 a.m. in a daze, but by the time you find yourself sitting on the tarmac for your flight to Rio at 9:30 a.m., you truly know where you are. Purgatory.

Walk 2. From the head of the funicular to the base of the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Distance: 200 meters. Time (including refreshment stop): 1 hour. Everyone, just everyone, has to visit this huge statue when they come to Rio. It’s just so huge, and the views from the top of the mountain are superb. At least, they are on clear days. On the day we attempted our trek it was so cloudy we could see neither up nor down.

The youngest of our party did exclaim, “Oh my God!” when he saw the vast Redeemer looming out of the mist, but while this may have been apt, he is also – being 5 – a tad credulous.

Walk 3, Copacabana to Ipanema. Distance 1.5 kilometers. Time: 2 hours. Put all thoughts of Astrud Gilberto and the eponymous girl out of your mind. Beachfront Rio may no longer have been quite as minatory as when I was last here, in the early 1990s (all the drug gangs and their mayhem are now, more or less, confined to the favelas, where they battle it out with R.P.G.s and heavy machine guns, protected by the cordon répugnant of a wholly corrupt police force), but being winter it was still a misty, chilly, slightly scuzzy prospect, as the author’s wife never ceased to remind him.

The boys liked to walk up the beach – which, to be fair, is pristine – then back down the Avenida Atlantica, time after time after time. After a couple of days of this I persuaded them to divert up the Rua Francisco Otaviano to Ipanema, past a scary Catholic iconostasis (life-size plaster figures of leprous-looking saints). It was dark by the time we turned into the Avenida Francisco Behring, and there was absolutely no one on the beach at all. The breakers rolled in from the Atlantic, and the lights of the hilly suburbs to the south mounted up as if Christ the Redeemer were developing the empyrean itself.

Then there was the Parque Garota towards the end of the point. The author’s wife felt that its dark shrubbery and sinister-sounding appellation disqualified it as a location for family rambling, but I point out that “garota” is in fact “girl” in Portuguese, and the park was named after the eponymous one. “In that case,” Mrs. Self snapped, “why is it full of single men lurking in the bushes?” Moan, moan, moan.

Walk 4. Paraty, Brazil. Round trip from the Marquesa Hotel. Distance: 2 kilometers. Time: 1.5 hours. If you visit the charming seaside resort of Paraty, 3.5 hours’ drive south of Rio, be sure to tour its famously uneven, large-cobbled streets on foot. The grid-pattern of boxy, whitewashed houses will be familiar to anyone who has ever seen a spaghetti western. I kept expecting to see the Man with No Name ride into town, intent on wreaking destruction on all the wooden knick-knacks, glass bibelots and naïf paintings that clutter up Paraty’s famously uneven etc. etc.

Abandoning the boys at the hotel, I acquired sturdy walking companions, to whit: the entire staff of the British Council office in Rio de Janeiro, together with a journalist from O Globo, his photographer, and the jeep they’d all hired.

I asked them why they were on my case. They explained that they’d paid my plane fare to the literary festival that was being held in Paraty, and they wanted their face time. This was all news to me; I don’t like having anything to do with Council, which is an adjunct of the British Foreign Office, charged with converting the heathen to reruns of “The Vicar of Dibley” and tea drinking. They wanted to go for a drive – I insisted on walking. I prevailed, and we set out for the kilometer or so to the jetty where the pleasure boats are hired, the whole media cavalcade stringing along behind.

The journalist asked me questions, his snapper snapped away. The Head of the British Council and I chatted amiably enough. (It’s impossible to do anything else with them, as Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) discovered in “The Third Man,” when he encountered the BC rep, Crabbin, memorably played by the late Wilfrid Hyde-White.) We made it to the jetty, and then after further excruciating politeness, I managed to shake them off. Bliss.

Next week join me for four brief – but punishing – treks in the United States.

A brief remark on my Sao Paulo airport walk is sadly necessitated by this week’s crash of a TAM Express flight, which killed approximately 200 passengers and crew. I stress: I took my walk a fortnight ago, and despite my remarks about Harry Potter, I have no belief in magical thinking. It’s always a little bit grotesque when a writer riffs on an absurdity, only to have it transmogrify into a grotesquerie; beyond this, my walk took place at the international airport, rather than Congonhas (where the crash happened), which serves mostly internal flights.

I could give you some more flimflam about how all this goes to show that air crashes – no matter how infrequent – are God’s way of showing us that we should cleave to the ground, but I don’t believe any such thing. Nor do you. And frankly, none of us – least of all the families of the victims – needs any such flat-earth nonsense.

In the wake of the crash the Brazilian body politic is galvanizing itself. Accusations are being slung about: at the state governor, and at the president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva himself. Lula has the image in the northern hemisphere of being a kind of Chavez-lite (or Castro-very-lite), but nothing, my Brazilian informants tell me, could be further from the truth.

Of course, from my perspective, the most important thing is: is Lula a walker? I can’t answer this with any certainty, although he did attend a meeting at our Rio hotel while we were staying there. It was the first time I’ve ever actually seen a red carpet rolled out, presumably so this Latin American populist could take his own, necessary steps.

Comments are no longer being accepted.

Did your boys love teh amazing sand castles on the beach?

Mr. Self, I was pleasantly surprised to find this latest entry from Rio de Janeiro, a gorgeous city I’ve been enjoying for the better part of three weeks. Your descriptions are spot on. The Pan American Games have kept me from hitting the trail as much as I would like, but the odd run takes me down to those breakers and into the shadows of the hulking cliffs above. The combination of the monstrous mountain faces that continue to overwhelm and the crashing of the winter swell makes São Conrado, the next beach to the south of Ipanema, an exciting place to run, even if the beach is only 1.5 km long. I have just one week left but it’s not too late to ask, do you have any more suggestions for must-reads from Brazilian authors? Steer clear of the space-time continuum, if at all possible.

I always thought Copacabana feels like New York with a beachfront while Ipanema reminds me of Santa Monica or Malibu. Mrs. Self is right about that dodgy point between the world’s first and second most famous beaches.

What an interesting idea, this walking narrative. Yet your walking blog of Brazil was strangely lacking in anecdotes with Brazilians. You and your family seem to have missed the spirit, color, humor, musicality–the LIFE of this great country. But then you went to only the most touristy places (being here for the literary festival?). Perhaps next visit you’ll go deeper. You might begin with a long walk around Parque Ibirapuera here in SP on a weekend, where you can see all social classes at leisure and meet some people–a few words of Portuguese on your part, and the conversation will take off.

This fine narrative brought back great memories of my trips to Rio. The last one in the 2000/01 Millenium celebration took me to the Santa Teresa neighborhod, where two friendly cariocas as well as an Austrialian expatriate welcomed my host Cauius and I into their beautiful house. Then a stroll around the plaza followed by a nice dinner in restaurant full with happy Brasilians. What a city!!!

My first read of the Self posts left me uninterested. I have been looking for a new Select fix since Maria Kalman ended her series. Now that I have managed to read the third of these Self posts, I feel a beguilement beginning. This latest and my third reading is the best of all.

I love walking myself and at 71some I have found a new source of wellness that has enhanced my ability to enjoy the walks and all I see during. Reading Will’s recounting of his walks in picturesque and even picaresque environs is now a reading pleasure I can look forward to.

absolutely one of the most ridiculous pieces of drivel I’ve ever read.

Mr. Self: thank you for your most readable writing style – I feel like I have been talking with you after reading these columns. Write, walk, post on. John Sabean

Thank you for this entry. But, I liked the prior Orwell entry better. I find this Brazil piece too personal, a little like the literary equivalent of a family vacation video. I find you more introspective and interesting when you walk alone.

Enjoyed this entry tremendously. Felt as though I was along with you and your family and enjoyed all your observations and comments. Ros Richter

Hello, Will,

Please excuse my pedantry, but “cordon” is a masculine noun; and so it takes the masculine adjective “répugnant”–not “répugnante.” Also, the pulp writer Holly Martins is played by Joseph Cotten, not Cotton.

Anyway, as a fellow walker, I’m enjoying your posts. And I’m sorry I haven’t yet picked up one of your novels. When I get back from a (mostly) walking trip in Bulgaria and Romania, I’ll read one.

Last, have you read Thoreau’s “Walking”? If not, here it is: //www.transcendentalists.com/walking.htm . A wonderful essay on the subject, and I recommend it to all the readers of this blog.

[email protected]

A most schizophrenic and affected piece. Let’s be real, both Sao Paolo and Rio are extremely dangerous places. You can’t walk on the Ipanema beach with a watch on and hope to keep it. By the way, a journalist does not have ‘his photographer’ like a pet. The photographer is called a photojournalist.

Well, I’ve tried to ignore Maria’s comment for a while but I simply cannot. I agree Sao Paulo and Rio are indeed dangerous places. But that does not mean (in any proximity to the truth) that you cannot walk without being robbed… Maybe your perception is based on sensationalistic coverage of some specific incident…. I may bite my tongue, but if you walked more, maybve you would change your views.

Will, I’d love to read more on your opinions about the literary festival and its participants…

22 common brazilian portuguese words and phrases for travel.

​ After over a year and much blood, sweat and tears, or more realistically, sun, sand and samba, enough Brazilian Portuguese has seeped into my veins that I can actually help out newly arriving gringos with some words and phrases. Brazilian Portuguese is the same language as Portuguese and when written formally they are largely the same. But we use language first and foremost to talk, and Brazilians have their own words, phrases and slang unique to them, just like with Australian English, British English and American English.

So forget using Google translator before you get off the plane in Rio de Janeiro, right here are the Portuguese words and phrases Brazilians actually use that will help you have an incredible Brazilian holiday.

“Hi” / “Hello”

These are the greetings of Brazil. "Oi" is more common and casual and Brazilians often say it a little drawn out like "oiii", not the quick, bogan "Oi!" Aussies say, or more realistically, shout.

Bom dia / Boa tarde / Boa noite:

“Good morning” / “Good afternoon” / “Good night/evening”

While these seem really formal in English, they’re actually quite common in Brazil especially with people you don’t know. One of the things I love is how in my building when I get in the lift with someone they’ll often use one of these, it feels kind of old fashioned and nice. Also, Brazilians use "boa noite" as a greeting as well as for goodbyes, while in English we'd never greet someone with "goodnight", we'd use "good evening" instead.

Tudo bem? / Tudo bom?:

“How are you”

It literally means “everything well (bem)/good (bom)?” or as we’d more normally say in English “all well/good?”. Usually answered with exactly the same words, “tudo bem/bom”, affirming the question. “Is everything good?”, “yes, everything is good” is the way you can think about it, just made short and sweet. You can also simply answer with “tudo” for "everything". A closer literal expression to "how are you" is "como voce está?" but in Brazilian Portuguese it is far less common to say this.

"Please"

Just like it's said in Spanish, don't forget this one as you'll be needing it the day you arrive.

Obrigado / Obrigada:

“Thank you”

Males say thanks with an O on the end and females say it with an A on the end. Portuguese uses masculine and feminine forms with its nouns and at certain other times depending if you're talking about a male or a female or if a male or female is using the word themselves like here. As an English speaker this part of Portuguese, and Latin languages generally, takes a long time to get used to but you'll get the hang of it.

"Yes" / "No"

Not much to say here except that they're pronounced "sin" and "now". M's on the end of words are pronounced as an N, so remember that for "tudo bem/bom" as well.

"Help me"

It is Brazil so there's a chance you might need to use this in some hairy situation, but you can also use it if you just need assistance like when asking for directions.

Eu sou / Eu estou:

Then afterwards add on your name or your country, so for me I would say “Eu sou Ian, eu sou Australiano”. Unlike in English, Portuguese has two different forms of the verb “to be”, they are “ser” and “estar”. The former is for permanent things like your name, nationality, skin and hair colour and personality traits, while estar is for temporary or situational use like “I am hungry”. And in this case "ser" has become "sou" with the personal conjugation when you talk about yourself. "Conjugation, WTF is that?" I hear you ask. Well, verbs change depending on who you are talking about - "I", "you/he/she", "they" and "we" - so not only do you have the infinitive verb, you have an additional four versions (conjugations) to mentally process depending on the situation.

“What’s up?”

Just like in English this is really an expression between friends or with the dude in the pizza shop. Pair it with “Oi” and say “Oi, e ai?” to your new Brazilian friends. Pronounced "ee eye-ee".

“Dude” / “Man”

And then you can add this too and sound like a pro. If you look in a translator you’ll see it also means "face", but “rosto” is more commonly used for that in Brazilian Portuguese.

It’s as versatile as it is in English and in Brazil there are many things which are very "legal", not least of all the people. Pronounced "le" like in lens, and "gal" like "she's a nice gal".

Voce é linda/lindo:

“You are beautiful/handsome”

This is the most respectful way you can tell someone they’re attractive in Portuguese. They’re not "sexy" or "hot" (but there are words for those, of course, it's Brazil *cough* "gostosa" *cough*), they’re "beautiful" or "handsome" depending on if you’re talking about a guy or a girl. Just think of the difference in English if you just meet a girl and call her "beautiful" verses "sexy", you're gonna get a completely different reaction. "Gatinha/o", meaning kitten, or "fofinha/o", meaning little cutie, are nice words that couples use for each other.

Eu quero / Eu gostaria de:

“I want” / “I would like”

It’s amazing how far you can get with these few words as a traveller. Most of the time you’re wanting to eat or drink something or get somewhere and if you can get a rough word on the end then you should be understood without even having a perfect sentence. Pronounce the start of "quero" with a "K" sound not a "Q" like in Spanish.

"We go" / “Let’s go” / “Let’s do it”

This can be used alone as an expression of excitement and enthusiasm to do something with someone else or some others, “vamos!” (remember conjugations, well this is what "go" becomes when used for yourself and other people together, that being "we"). More literally it can be used to simply state we both/all should go, like if you’re pissed at your Brazilian girlfriend taking ages to get ready then you can say as nice as you can to her, “vamos”.

An apology goes a long long way anywhere in the world. Don't say “sorry” like so many English-speakers do on holiday, practice this in your head because "sorry" is one of those few words used instinctively where you don’t usually get time to think before you use it. So if you bump into a Brazilian, just smile and say "desculpa".

Com licença:

"Excuse me"

This is for when you need someone's attention politely. While in English we often say "sorry" as an alternative, "sorry, could I please get past you", here "desculpa" is not so much used for that. Com is pronounced as "con" if you remember the rule for M at the end of a word.

Amigo / Amiga:

It should’t be hard making friends in Brazil so you should be using this a lot. Males are your "amigos", females are your "amigas".

Agua / Suco / Cerveja / Vinho / Café / Chá:

“Water” / “Juice” / “Beer” / "Wine" / “Coffee” / "Tea"

At varying times of the day you’ll probably be needing all of these especially in summer in ridiculously hot Rio.

Just like in Italian, more or less. If you're finishing a text message you could add "beijos" for kisses and "abraços" for hugs, Brazilians like to do this where in English we'd use "xo".

Well it’s one of the most useful and diverse words in the English language and this is as close as you’ll get to it in Brazilian Portuguese when exclaimed in a bad situation like "damn!". You can also use "caralho" for those times like our favourite meth cook Bryan Cranston is having here. However, Portuguese has no true equivalent for "fuck", as they have a different word for its verb form *cough* "foder" *cough*. Pronounced “pohha”.

“I love you”

No “te” doesn’t mean love, Brazilian Portuguese has a totally bizarre word order and where in English you'd put "you" after a verb, here they put it before. So “amo” is actually "love" in the personal conjugation, translated literally to English it is “I you love”. But don’t worry to them it sounds like “I love you”.

"Picnic"

Well this word isn't that useful but it cracks me up and illustrates one of the cutest things about Portuguese, that being when they adopt a foreign word they usually just add an "ee" sound on the end when they say it. As a result a laptop is a "notebook(ee)", the internet is the "internet(ee)" and "Facebook(ee)". Piquenique sounds like how you'd say the word picnic to a little child in English, but here it's totally serious, and therefore, hilarious.
