Printable 7x7 Thermometer 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 thermometer puzzles with an answer key on the second page. Each grid has 16 to 20 thermometers.

How to solve

  • Row and column counts: The number beside a row, or above a column, is how many of its cells are filled.
  • Start at the bulb: Mercury begins at the round bulb and rises toward the flat end.
  • No gaps: A cell can only be filled if every cell between it and the bulb is filled too.
  • Any level: A thermometer can be empty, partly filled or completely full.
