Set Puzzles are created with a deck of cards from the [[wp:Set (game)|Set Game™]]. The object of the puzzle is to find sets of 3 cards in a rectangle of cards that have been dealt face up. <br><br>
There are 81 cards in a deck.
Each card contains a unique variation of the following four features: ''color, symbol, number and shading''.
 
;* there are three colors:<br> '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;''red''', '''green''', or '''purple'''<br><br>
 
;* there are three symbols:<br> '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;''oval''', '''squiggle''', or '''diamond'''<br><br>
 
;* there is a number of symbols on the card:<br> '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;''one''', '''two''', or '''three'''<br><br>
 
;* there are three shadings:<br> '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;''solid''', '''open''', or '''striped'''<br><br>
 
Three cards form a ''set'' if each feature is either the same on each card, or is different on each card. <br>For instance: all 3 cards are red, all 3 cards have a different symbol, all 3 cards have a different number of symbols, all 3 cards are striped.
 
For instance: all 3 cards are red, all 3 cards have a different symbol, all 3 cards have a different number of symbols, all 3 cards are striped.
There are two degrees of difficulty: [http://www.setgame.com/set/rules_basic.htm ''basic''] and [http://www.setgame.com/set/rules_advanced.htm ''advanced'']. <br>The basic mode deals 9 cards, that contain exactly 4 sets; the advanced mode deals 12 cards that contain exactly 6 sets. ▼
