Printable 7x7 Nurikabe Puzzles (Medium)

The everyday size: a 7x7 grid leaves room for real chains of deduction without taking over your afternoon. Good for regular solvers and older students.

This first pack has six Nurikabe puzzles with an answer key on the second page. Each grid has 8 numbered islands.

How to solve

  • Island sizes: Each number is part of a white island with exactly that many cells.
  • One number per island: Every island holds exactly one number, and islands never touch along an edge.
  • One sea: All shaded cells connect into a single group.
  • No pools: No 2x2 square may be fully shaded.

Free to print and copy for home, classroom and library use. Every puzzle has one answer you can reach by logic alone.
