Printable 5x5 Slant Puzzles (Easy)

The smallest Slant puzzles we print. A 5x5 grid is the right place to learn the rules, and it suits younger solvers, a classroom warm-up or a quick coffee break.

This first pack has eight Slant puzzles with an answer key on the second page. Each grid has 13 to 15 corner numbers.

How to solve

  • One line per cell: Every cell holds a single diagonal, either / or \.
  • Corner numbers: A number on a corner says how many diagonals touch that corner (0 to 4).
  • No loops: The diagonals can never join up into a closed loop.
  • Unnumbered corners: Corners without a number can touch any number of lines.

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