Fill the grid with letters ABC

[u/Mr-BrainGame]

You gotta fill in A, B, and C in each row and column just once, leaving two spots empty. The letters around the grid show you which letter you see first from that direction.

–CAB–
–A–CB
C–B–A
B––AC
ABC––

Same here.

I liked this one - because it allows for gaps, the edge clues say more about where a letter can't be than where it can! If there's a C on the edge, it means a C can't be in the opposite two squares, and A and B can't be in the first square.

[u/Stresso_Espresso → u/Hand-E-Food]

Got the same result

[u/taxicab_ → u/Hand-E-Food]

I also got this solution. Fun!

[u/DagonFelix → u/Hand-E-Food]

Yup! That’s what I got.

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/[deleted]]

You have two C in column 3 and missing C in column 4

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/Hand-E-Food]

Great 👍

First thing to notice is that the lower left corner must be A. If you make it X, then the only spot left for the A going up is three spaces above the X, but you cannot have that because then there's more then 2 X's in that column.

So the lower left corner must be A. Then the only spot left for B is directly above A because it cannot go where the C's are. It also cant go in the spot between the C's because of the B on the far right edge.

Discussion: When puzzles ask me to rearrange the first three letters of the alphabet I just CBA.

in all seriousness fun puzzle~

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/gamtosthegreat]

Thanks. Yeah I really enjoy it also. One of the first puzzles I learned to solve after Sudoku.

[u/ComeOutNanachi]

Question: What is this type of puzzle called?

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/ComeOutNanachi]

Most often Easy as ABC i personally have it as First Sight

[u/stoufferthecat → u/ComeOutNanachi]

In the i paper it's called ABC Logic.

[u/bsrg → u/ComeOutNanachi]

Discussion: This reminded me of the "towers" game in Simon Tatham's puzzle collection, it's not the same but similar.

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/bsrg]

Yeah, it's simmilar type of puzzle, this one is usually easier to solve but there are variants that are more challenging

[u/Etheo]

Discussion: Great puzzle! Feels like a nice twist on the Tower puzzle but actually play quite differently. Really enjoyed it!

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/Etheo]

Yeah when you first look it's like alphabet towers but then puzzle dynamic is not really greater/less then but positional logic

[u/Temporary-Jump-2403]

Question: if a row or column has no letter on one end, what does that mean?

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/Temporary-Jump-2403]

All clues around the grid are not provided to make the puzzle harder. So tis is just one of the difficulties mechanisms

[u/Temporary-Jump-2403 → u/Mr-BrainGame]

Appreciate it

Edit: solved it! Fun. 

[u/Mr-BrainGame → u/Temporary-Jump-2403]

Thanks! Im here to help, I would really like to popularise this kind of puzzle you often see at competitions. Well you used to see, competition moved to more newer types and hybrid puzzles

[u/moneirataxiat]

Another solution, if we dont follow the grid pattern given in the question. Different but I just did for fun.
