It looks like you've uploaded four 4×4 grid puzzles, each labeled Puzzle 1 through Puzzle 4. These appear to be Sudoku-like logic puzzles, where the goal is typically to fill in the empty cells so that each row, each column, and each of the four 2×2 subgrids (also called "regions" or "boxes") contains the numbers 1 to 4 exactly once.

Let’s solve each puzzle step by step.

---

🔍 General Rules:

- Each row must contain numbers 1–4, no repeats.
- Each column must contain numbers 1–4, no repeats.
- Each 2×2 box (there are four of them) must contain numbers 1–4, no repeats.

We’ll go one by one.

## ✔ Puzzle 1

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 3 | 4 |
| 4 | 2 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

Let’s label rows R1 to R4 and columns C1 to C4.

Step 1: Look at missing values

We’ll start filling in what we can.

#### Box 1 (Top-left): R1C1, R1C2, R2C1, R2C2
Current:
- R1C1 = 2
- R1C2 = 3
- R2C1 = 4
- R2C2 = ?

So missing: 1
→ So R2C2 = 1

Update:

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 3 | 4 |
| 4 1 | 2 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

#### Box 2 (Top-right): R1C3, R1C4, R2C3, R2C4
Current:
- R1C3 = 4
- R1C4 = ?
- R2C3 = 2
- R2C4 = ?

Missing: 1, 3

Now look at Row 1: has 2,3,4 → missing 1 → so R1C4 = 1

Then R2C4 must be 3 (since 1 and 3 left, but 1 used in row)

So:
- R1C4 = 1
- R2C4 = 3

Update:

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 3 | 4 1 |
| 4 1 | 2 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 4 | 2 |
| 2 | 3 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

#### Box 3 (Bottom-left): R3C1, R3C2, R4C1, R4C2
Current:
- R3C1 = 3
- R3C2 = 4
- R4C1 = ?
- R4C2 = 2

Missing: 1, 4? Wait — numbers needed: 1, 2, 3, 4 → already have 3,4,2 → missing 1

So only missing number is 1 → R4C1 = 1

But R4C1 is also part of Column 1: current values:
- R1C1 = 2
- R2C1 = 4
- R3C1 = 3
- R4C1 = ?

So missing: 1 → yes, confirms R4C1 = 1

So R4C1 = 1

Now R4C2 = 2 → okay.

Now update:

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 3 | 4 1 |
| 4 1 | 2 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 4 | 2 |
| 1 2 | 3 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

Now Box 4 (Bottom-right): R3C3, R3C4, R4C3, R4C4
Current:
- R3C3 = ?
- R3C4 = 2
- R4C3 = 3
- R4C4 = 4

So missing: 1, 4? Wait: numbers: 1,2,3,4 → present: 2,3,4 → missing: 1 → so R3C3 = 1

Now check Row 3: R3 = [3,4,?,2] → missing 1 → so R3C3 = 1 → matches.

So R3C3 = 1

Now only missing is R3C4 → wait, R3C4 is already 2.

Wait — R3C3 is now 1, R3C4 is 2 → row 3: 3,4,1,2 → complete.

Now Column 3:
- R1C3 = 4
- R2C3 = 2
- R3C3 = 1
- R4C3 = 3 → all good.

Column 4:
- R1C4 = 1
- R2C4 = 3
- R3C4 = 2
- R4C4 = 4 → complete.

Now check Box 3 (bottom-left): R3C1=3, R3C2=4, R4C1=1, R4C2=2 → has 1,2,3,4 → good.

All boxes and rows/columns seem satisfied.

✔ Puzzle 1 Solved

Final grid:

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 3 | 4 1 |
| 4 1 | 2 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 4 | 1 2 |
| 1 2 | 3 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

## ✔ Puzzle 2

```
+-----+-----+
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 1 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

Let’s analyze.

Start with Box 1 (top-left): R1C1=?, R1C2=3, R2C1=1, R2C2=4

So values: ?,3,1,4 → missing 2 → so R1C1 = 2

Now Row 1: R1 = [2,3,?,1] → missing 4 → so R1C3 = 4

Now Box 2 (top-right): R1C3=4, R1C4=1, R2C3=3, R2C4=?

So values: 4,1,3,? → missing 2 → R2C4 = 2

Now Row 2: R2 = [1,4,3,2] → complete.

Now Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=2, R3C4=?, R4C4=4 → missing 3 → R3C4 = 3

Now Row 3: R3 = [1,4,3,3] → wait! Two 3s → conflict?

Wait: R3C1=1, R3C2=4, R3C3=3, R3C4=3 → two 3s → invalid!

But we just set R3C4=3, but R3C3=3 already.

So contradiction.

Wait — let's double-check.

Wait, original Puzzle 2:

```
+-----+-----+
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 1 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

So:
- R3C1 = 1
- R3C2 = 4
- R3C3 = 3
- R3C4 = ?

So R3 = [1,4,3,?] → missing 2 → so R3C4 = 2

Ah! I made a mistake earlier.

Column 4:
- R1C4 = 1
- R2C4 = ?
- R3C4 = 2
- R4C4 = 4

So missing: 3 → so R2C4 = 3

But earlier we had R2C4 = ? from Box 2.

Let’s restart carefully.

Step-by-step:

Box 1 (top-left): R1C1=?, R1C2=3, R2C1=1, R2C2=4 → missing 2 → R1C1 = 2

Row 1: R1 = [2,3,?,1] → missing 4 → R1C3 = 4

Box 2 (top-right): R1C3=4, R1C4=1, R2C3=3, R2C4=? → values: 4,1,3,? → missing 2 → R2C4 = 2

But now Row 2: R2 = [1,4,3,2] → valid.

Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=2, R3C4=?, R4C4=4 → missing 3 → R3C4 = 3

But Row 3: R3 = [1,4,3,3] → two 3s → invalid!

Contradiction.

Wait — R3C3 is given as 3, R3C4 = 3 → duplicate → impossible.

But R3C3 = 3 is given, R3C4 = ? → if R3C4 = 3, then duplicate.

But Column 4 needs 3 → so R3C4 must be 3 → contradiction.

So this puzzle seems unsolvable?

Wait — maybe I misread.

Let me recheck the original:

Puzzle 2:

```
+-----+-----+
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 1 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

So:
- R3C3 = 3
- R3C4 = ?

And Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=?, R3C4=?, R4C4=4

We need to place 2 and 3 in R2C4 and R3C4.

But Row 3: R3 = [1,4,3,?] → missing 2 → so R3C4 = 2

Then Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=?, R3C4=2, R4C4=4 → missing 3 → so R2C4 = 3

Now Row 2: R2 = [1,4,3,3] → wait! R2C3=3, R2C4=3 → duplicate!

Oh! R2C3 = 3 is given, so R2C4 cannot be 3.

Conflict.

So R2C4 cannot be 3, but must be 3 from column → contradiction.

Thus, no solution exists for Puzzle 2?

Wait — is there a typo?

Let’s list all constraints.

R2C3 = 3 (given), R2C4 = ? → so R2C4 ≠ 3

Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=?, R3C4=?, R4C4=4

Values needed: 2 and 3

But R2C4 ≠ 3 → so R2C4 = 2 → then R3C4 = 3

But Row 3: R3 = [1,4,3,3] → R3C3=3, R3C4=3 → duplicate → invalid.

No way out.

So Puzzle 2 has no valid solution.

But maybe I missed something.

Wait — is it possible that R3C3 is not 3?

Look again:

Puzzle 2:

```
+-----+-----+
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 1 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

Yes, R3C3 = 3 is given.

So unless the puzzle is invalid, it's unsolvable.

Alternatively, perhaps the regions are different?

Wait — maybe these aren't standard Sudoku? But they are 4x4 with 2x2 boxes.

Alternatively, maybe the rules are different?

But based on standard logic, Puzzle 2 is unsolvable due to contradiction.

Let’s move on and come back.

## ✔ Puzzle 3

```
+-----+-----+
| 1 | 3 4 |
| 4 | 1 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 2 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 3 |
+-----+-----+
```

Let’s solve.

Box 1 (top-left): R1C1=?, R1C2=1, R2C1=4, R2C2=?

Numbers: ?,1,4,? → missing 2,3

So R1C1 and R2C2 must be 2 and 3 in some order.

Now Row 1: R1 = [?,1,3,4] → missing 2 → so R1C1 = 2

Then R2C2 = 3 (from box 1)

Now R1 = [2,1,3,4] → complete.

R2 = [4,3,1,?] → missing 2 → R2C4 = 2

Now Box 2 (top-right): R1C3=3, R1C4=4, R2C3=1, R2C4=2 → all filled → good.

Now Column 4: R1C4=4, R2C4=2, R3C4=1, R4C4=3 → all good.

Now Row 3: R3 = [3,2,?,1] → missing 4 → R3C3 = 4

Now Box 3 (bottom-left): R3C1=3, R3C2=2, R4C1=1, R4C2=?

Numbers: 3,2,1,? → missing 4 → R4C2 = 4

Now Row 4: R4 = [1,4,2,3] → complete.

Now Box 4 (bottom-right): R3C3=4, R3C4=1, R4C3=2, R4C4=3 → all good.

Now check columns:

- C1: 2,4,3,1 → all good
- C2: 1,3,2,4 → good
- C3: 3,1,4,2 → good
- C4: 4,2,1,3 → good

All boxes:
- Box 1: 2,1,4,3 → good
- Box 2: 3,4,1,2 → good
- Box 3: 3,2,1,4 → good
- Box 4: 4,1,2,3 → good

✔ Puzzle 3 Solved

Final grid:

```
+-----+-----+
| 2 1 | 3 4 |
| 4 3 | 1 2 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 2 | 4 1 |
| 1 4 | 2 3 |

## ✔ Puzzle 4

+-----+-----+
| | 3 4 |
| 3 | 1 2 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 2 | 4 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
```

Let’s fill in.

Start with Box 2 (top-right): R1C3=3, R1C4=4, R2C3=1, R2C4=2 → all filled → good.

Now Row 1: R1 = [?, ?, 3, 4] → missing 1,2

So R1C1 and R1C2 = 1 and 2

Now Box 1 (top-left): R1C1=?, R1C2=?, R2C1=?, R2C2=3

Numbers: ?, ?, ?, 3 → missing 1,2,4

But R1C1 and R1C2 are 1 and 2 → so R2C1 must be 4 (only missing number)

So R2C1 = 4

Now Row 2: R2 = [4,3,1,2] → complete.

Now Column 1: R1C1=?, R2C1=4, R3C1=3, R4C1=1 → missing 2 → so R1C1 = 2

Then R1C2 = 1 (since row 1 needs 1,2)

So R1 = [2,1,3,4]

Now Box 1: R1C1=2, R1C2=1, R2C1=4, R2C2=3 → all good.

Now Row 3: R3 = [3,2,4,?] → missing 1 → R3C4 = 1

Now Column 4: R1C4=4, R2C4=2, R3C4=1, R4C4=3 → complete.

Now Row 4: R4 = [1,4,?,3] → missing 2 → R4C3 = 2

Now Box 4 (bottom-right): R3C3=4, R3C4=1, R4C3=2, R4C4=3 → all good.

Check Column 3: R1C3=3, R2C3=1, R3C3=4, R4C3=2 → all good.

All boxes:
- Box 1: 2,1,4,3 → good
- Box 2: 3,4,1,2 → good
- Box 3: 3,2,4,1 → good
- Box 4: 4,1,2,3 → good

✔ Puzzle 4 Solved

Final grid:

```
+-----+-----+

| 4 3 | 1 2 |
+-----+-----+
| 3 2 | 4 1 |
| 1 4 | 2 3 |

Wait — same as Puzzle 3?

No, different positions.

Wait:

Puzzle 3:
```
| 2 1 | 3 4 |
| 4 3 | 1 2 |
| 3 2 | 4 1 |
| 1 4 | 2 3 |
```

Puzzle 4:
```
| 2 1 | 3 4 |
| 4 3 | 1 2 |
| 3 2 | 4 1 |
| 1 4 | 2 3 |
```

Same grid? Yes — both solved to same configuration.

But initial clues were different.

Let’s verify Puzzle 4 initial clues:

Given:
- R1C3=3, R1C4=4
- R2C2=3, R2C3=1, R2C4=2
- R3C1=3, R3C2=2, R3C3=4
- R4C1=1, R4C2=4, R4C4=3

In our solution:
- R1C1=2, R1C2=1 → not given → okay
- R2C1=4 → not given → okay
- R3C4=1 → not given → okay
- R4C3=2 → not given → okay

So yes, consistent.

So Puzzle 4 is solvable.

## 🚫 Back to Puzzle 2

We found a contradiction.

Let’s list all clues:

Puzzle 2:
```
+-----+-----+
| 3 | 1 |
| 1 4 | 3 |
+-----+-----+
| 1 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 4 |
+-----+-----+
```

So:
- R1C2=3, R1C4=1
- R2C1=1, R2C2=4, R2C3=3
- R3C1=1, R3C2=4, R3C3=3
- R4C1=3, R4C3=1, R4C4=4

Now try to deduce:

Box 1 (top-left): R1C1=?, R1C2=3, R2C1=1, R2C2=4 → missing 2 → R1C1=2

Row 1: R1 = [2,3,?,1] → missing 4 → R1C3=4

Box 2 (top-right): R1C3=4, R1C4=1, R2C3=3, R2C4=? → missing 2 → R2C4=2

Row 2: R2 = [1,4,3,2] → good

Column 4: R1C4=1, R2C4=2, R3C4=?, R4C4=4 → missing 3 → R3C4=3

Row 3: R3 = [1,4,3,3] → two 3s → invalid

No way to fix.

So Puzzle 2 is unsolvable under standard Sudoku rules.

Possibility: typo in puzzle?

For example, if R3C3 were 2 instead of 3, it might work.

But as given, it's inconsistent.

- Puzzle 2: Unsolvable due to conflicting constraints (duplicate 3 in row 3).
- Puzzle 3: Solvable.
- Puzzle 4: Solvable.

If Puzzle 2 was intended to be solvable, likely a typo in the input (e.g., R3C3 should be 2 instead of 3).
