Square Grid and Letter Assignment Puzzle

In summary, the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I can be arranged in a 3x3 square grid with I in the same column as E (not in the center column), D in the row below F, A in the row below B, B not in the first column, E in the same row as F, C in a corner square, G in the square above A, F in the same row and column as A and C, E in the row below B, and H in the same row and column as I and F, in a corner square.

Place the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I into a 3x3 square grid with each square containing a different letter, using the following information:

(i) I is in the same column as E which is not in the center column.

(ii) D is in the row below the row which contains F.

(iii) A is in the row below the row that contains B.

(iv) B is not in the first column.

(v) E is in the same row as F.

(vi) C is in one of the four corner squares.

(vii) G is in the square above A.

(viii) F is in the same row as A, and in the same column as C.

(ix) E is in the row below the row which contains B.

(x) H is in the same row as I, the same column as F, and is in a corner square.

Based on the given information, the square grid and letter assignment puzzle can be solved in the following way:

First, we can start by placing C in one of the four corner squares, as it is the only letter that is specified to be in a corner square. Next, we can place G in the square above A, as it is the only letter with a specified location in relation to another letter (A).

Using the information that E is in the same row as F, we can place F in the same row as A and in the same column as C. This means that E must also be in the same row as A and in the same column as C. From this, we can deduce that E cannot be in the center column, as it is already taken by A and C.

Next, using the information that D is in the row below the row which contains F, we can place D in the row below A and F. This also means that D cannot be in the same row as B, as B is in the row below A.

Using the information that A is in the row below the row that contains B, we can place B in the top row, as A is already in the row below it.

Now, we can use the information that H is in the same row as I, the same column as F, and is in a corner square. This means that H must be in the same row as F, and since F is already in the top row, H must also be in the top row. Additionally, since F is in the same column as C, and C is in a corner square, H must also be in a corner square.

Using the information that E is in the row below the row which contains B, we can place E in the bottom row, as B is already in the top row. This also means that E cannot be in the same row as F, as F is already in the top row.

Finally, we can place I in the remaining square in the top row, as it is the only letter left that has not been placed yet. This also satisfies the condition that I is in the same row as H, as H is already in the top row.

The completed 3x3 square grid with the assigned letters is as follows:

| C | F | I |
| G | A | B |
| D | E | H |
