![logicgameslsat.jpg](https://www.myguruedge.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logicgameslsat.jpg?width=275&height=183&name=logicgameslsat.jpg)There are three major types of [Analytical Reasoning](https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/prep/analytical-reasoning), or Logic Game, questions. These include sequencing, grouping, and matching games. This week we will talk about how to spot each type of question. Sequencing games are generally the most common, and you can spot these by generally looking for one set of variables. For example, there will be 7 runners and 7 places they could finish in. Note that there could be more variables, but this still constitutes as a sequencing question. Next, we have grouping games. Grouping games will also only have one set of variables, but here there are usually multiple places each variable can go. For example, there could be 10 people that need to be placed on 2 teams. Finally, we have matching games. Matching games differ as they usually have two sets of variables but there is no order to put them into. For example, you could have 6 people and 3 types of pets. Now that you know the major types of logic games, head to [TestSherpa](http://www.testsherpa.com/lsat/lsat-logic-games-types/) to see example problems and test your understanding!
