Magnonic logic gates represent a crucial step toward realizing fully magnonic data processing systems without reliance on conventional electronic or photonic elements. Recently, a universal and reconfigurable inverse-design device has been developed, featuring a 7×7 array of independent current loops that create local inhomogeneous magnetic fields to scatter spin waves in a Yttrium-Iron-Garnet film. While initially used for linear RF components, we now demonstrate key non-linear logic gates, NOT, OR, NOR, AND, NAND, and a half-adder, sufficient for building a full processor. In this system, binary data ("0" and "1") are encoded in the spin-wave amplitude. The contrast ratio, representing the difference between logic states, achieved values of 34, 53.9, 11.8, 19.7, 17, and 9.8 dB for these gates, respectively.
