DH bombed the Logic Reasoning section on the LSAT. I (not a lawyerly type) was curious so I did that section on a practice exam and killed it, quickly and easily. People have different strengths.

they just axed logical reasoning from the LSAT … it was my lowest subscore but I used my superior working memory to ace law school even though my LSAT was in the bottom 25% of the class.

More immediately have her use her good memory and logic skills to remember to take out the garbage when she deduces that it is full.

Crosswords are an order of magnitude harder than wordle, lol.

Cryptic crosswords too - even harder.
