This sheet prints zebra puzzles #12 from the daily archive for Oct 10, 2026 (hard). Today's sheet matches 5 houses across 4 attribute categories (people, pets, drinks, hobbies) using 16 clues: 5 direct matches and 4 negative statements, including 4 immediately-to-the-left relations and 3 somewhere-to-the-left relations pinning down the row order. Print it with your browser's print dialog (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and check yourself against the solution on the last page. Prefer to solve on screen instead? Play this puzzle online, or browse more printable zebra puzzles from past days.

Method: on five-wide grids keep the bookkeeping tight. Work category by category, and re-verify the order clues (left of, next to) every time a position gets pinned; one confirmed house usually cascades into three more. The full step-by-step method is in the how to play zebra puzzles guide.
