About these worksheets
Each PDF is three pages: two pages of puzzle grids followed by a full answer key marking every bulb. Walls are drawn as solid black cells; numbered walls show how many of their orthogonal neighbours hold a bulb. All puzzles are computer-verified to have a unique solution reachable by pure logic — no guessing.
Easy, Medium, and Hard have 75 packs each (8 puzzles per pack). Expert ships 150 packs and Einstein 150 packs, 4 puzzles per pack in the larger two-per-page layout.
If you'd rather solve interactively, play online with hints and step-by-step solutions. Or read the Light Up rules guide to learn the illumination and no-mutual-visibility constraints.
