Syllogica
Build the Venn-region diagram to prove which conclusion really follows — and unmask the ones that only seem to.
How to play
Each round gives you premises and a set of candidate conclusions. Assemble the Venn-region tiles that model the premises, then judge which conclusion the diagram actually supports. The trap is the fallacies — conclusions that sound right but break down on the regions, like an undistributed middle or an illicit conversion. Build the picture and let it decide.
- Read the premises
- Assemble the Venn regions that represent them
- Identify the conclusion that genuinely follows
- Reject the conclusions that commit a fallacy
Controls
- Desktop: click region tiles and conclusion options; some choices are keyboard-accessible too
- Phone & tablet: tap tiles and answers — fully touch-driven
Game modes
- Daily: the same arguments for everyone each day
- Practice: fresh arguments every run
- Easy, Medium and Hard add subtler fallacies and more terms
Tips & strategy
- Diagram what the premises force before looking at the conclusions
- Beware conclusions that overreach beyond what the regions guarantee
- Name the fallacy when you spot one — it confirms the rejection
