For a puzzle with a difference which requires both logic and multiplication try a Find the Factors puzzle from Iva Sallay on her Find the Factors blog. In this Find the Factors 1-10 puzzle can you place the numbers 1 to 10 in the first row and the first column to make the multiplication table work? Iva Sallay has clearly explained the puzzles here: How to Find the Factors.
New puzzles are published each week, I like the Excel files provided with puzzles of varying levels of difficulty. You will also find many hints and tips in the various posts. See Hooked on Factoring, for example, a post giving techniques for solving the puzzles and an Excel file of puzzles.

So far today FIND THE FACTORS has received nearly four times as many views as its previous high. When I investigated why, I discovered one of the reasons was a blog called mathematicsgames.wordpress.com. On that blog was this post recommending the FIND THE FACTORS puzzles. I am excited for the great write-up and the new people who have looked at the puzzles and used the excel file I made! I am humbled that mathematicsgames wrote this post, and I’m also quite proud to reblog it here.
