These are the ones I call canonical magic squares. Their side length goes from 3 to 9 and they are built using one of the three techniques below. Those three techniques have the interest that you only need to count to be able to build a magic square, there is no need to do any summation.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Making odd size magic squares\" href=\"https:\/\/squarez.motd.org\/?p=17\">Making odd size magic square<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Making magic squares with side length multiple of four\" href=\"https:\/\/squarez.motd.org\/?p=74\">Making magic squares with side length multiple of four<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Making a 6 by 6 magic square\" href=\"https:\/\/squarez.motd.org\/?p=73\">Making a 6 by 6 magic square<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Of course there are many more magic squares than those canonical seven.
