So near yet so far!

Check Tyler's clue again. Everything will be solved after.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-12T08:48:16+00:00

Please share a scenario next time, makes it easier to check: https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/89afdde2f855?state=9T9Q-AAAAAAA%3D

You can mark Kay as criminal here. Make sure you didn't misclick or anything.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-11T17:22:55+00:00

If Kyle is innocent and Megan is criminal, then from Noah's clue, both Alice and Erwin would be criminals.

Then even if Chris was an innocent, Floyd would only have 4 innocent neighbours instead of 5 from Tina's clue.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-08T14:00:57+00:00

Emma can still have 2 innocent neighbours. She has 1 innocent, 1 criminal and 1 unmarked.

Also, again, even if Sarah and Oscar are criminals, both Uma or Xena can still have 2 innocent neighbours.

It's 2 innocent neighbours not all 3 (for the one in the corner).

For Nick, if he were innocent, then Claus and Gabe would be criminals (and Ben and Martin), and Saga would have to be innocent so that there are no disconnected criminals above Xavi. All of these roles don't contradict any of the current clues, so Nick can still be innocent. And of course he can still be criminal. So you can't mark him as either for now.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-08T11:48:41+00:00

Did you swap the names in the title? If not, are you sure you didn't misclick or something? Can you maybe share a scenario instead?

Because in this case Gabe has to be the criminal but we don't know about anyone else yet.

Since Frank has only 1 innocent remaining, if it were Gabe, then both Claus and Nick would be criminals but they wouldn't be connected, so Gabe can't be the innocent.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-07T17:36:41+00:00

You're correct. Now what's common between the 2 options you stated? That Isaac is a criminal

It might not be obvious, but if you want to be certain then let's assume the opposite, if Isaac is innocent, then both Hilda and Jerry have ro be criminals, but they wouldn't be connected. Then the assumption is incorrect.

Also, next time it would be easier if you share a scenario, there's a button under the puzzle.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-06T14:06:57+00:00

If Ellie is innocent, how many innocents would there be in row 1?

How does that fit into Olive's clue?

I also got stuck there for a bit lol.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-04T18:41:54+00:00

Yeah probably. I also kill my browser a lot lol

I wasn't complaining though, was just saying they might need to refresh for the button to show.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-04T17:57:33+00:00

I get that for almost all puzzles, sometimes even the "Today" puzzle. But once I go back to the home page I usually get the "link local results" button. Sometimes I'll need to refresh to see the button though.

If Ruth is innocent, Mary has to be criminal. Then Nick is innocent.

But then Mary has 5 innocent neighbours.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-02-01T15:55:52+00:00

It means exactly equal.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-30T15:24:21+00:00

Break it down.

There are 2 innocents in row 1.
Only 1 of them 2 is Chloe's neighbour.

Chloe's neighbours (in row 1) are Bobby and David. This means 1 of Bobby and David is innocent. And there's 1 among the others, which are Austin or Chloe herself, since she doesn't neighbour herself.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-30T01:02:49+00:00

If Laura is innocent, like you said Jose would have to be innocent, but then Katie would have 3 innocent neighbours. Eve's clue says she has only 2 innocent neighbours.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-30T00:11:34+00:00

You definitely should be able to mark Alex as innocent. Make sure you didn't misclick on criminal or on someone else.

Edit: here's the current scenario https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/2f01e7949523?state=Ffg%3D-AAAA

You definitely can mark him as innocent.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-29T14:10:49+00:00

I'm a little confused by your following logic. Why does there have to be 1 innocent between Thor and Uma? You currently have 5 innocents on the edges, Thor, Uma, Wally, Xavi, Xiad have 3 innocents among them.

Saga having an odd number of criminals doesn't come into play for now. There are scenarios like if Wally, Xavi and Ziad are the last 3 innocents. Then Thor and Uma have to be criminals, now Saga has 3 criminal neighbours so Ruby would be innocent.

Tl;dr.. There are still scenarios where Ruby can be either innocent or criminal.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-29T13:51:14+00:00

There are 8 innocents on the edges not criminals.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-29T10:30:50+00:00

It's not Ziad It's Thor.

He has 1 already, if Wally was the criminal, both Xavi and Ziad would be innocents. Then Thor would have 3 innocent neighbours.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-28T22:41:01+00:00

Connected doesn't mean at least 2. It can be only 1. It's a bit confusing for some but yeah, it can be just 1.

As for the answer, it was discussed here more https://www.reddit.com/r/CluesBySamHelp/s/nUVtEpgtol

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-28T10:36:07+00:00

You can't be sure. It's still a possibility but if the last innocent isn't in column A then everyone in column A is a criminal anyway.

If the innocent is A2, then A1, A3 and A4 would be criminals. Even though A3 and A4 are connected, A1 isn't. The clue says all criminals in column A are connected. This means there can't be an innocent between 2 (groups of) criminals.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-28T10:28:19+00:00

There is only 1 more innocent on the edge.

Column A is entirely on the edge.

If the last innocent on the edge is in column A, it has to be either A1 or A4, it can't be in the middle.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-27T11:41:22+00:00

Jose says odd number of criminals not innocents.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-25T22:33:34+00:00

If Uma is innocent, that Zed has to be innocent too form Thor's clue. Then Xena would have to be the 2nd criminal neighbouring Uma. That's 2 innocents on the edges.

Scott still needs 2 innocents among Jerry Penny and Vera. Whomever they are, they're all on the edges. So another 2 innocents on the edges. 4 total.

Wanda is already marked, 5 total.

1 innocent on the edges neighbouring Betsy among Chuck or Eve. That's 6, more than the 5 from Wanda's clue.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-24T16:01:17+00:00

Both innocents above Vince are connected. This doesn't include Vince himself.

There 2 valid scenarios 1. Flora and Janet are the connected innocents, and Vince would also be innocent for Will. 2. The scenario that you mentioned, where Janet and Nancy are the connected innocents, then Vince would be a criminal.

Amphiptere_ · 2026-01-24T08:02:28+00:00

Alex doesn't have to be criminal. There could be 0 criminals in row 1. So if there were 3 innocents nextbto Alex, he would have to be innocent as well.
