Clues by Sam

How to play

1. 01

   Read the clues

   Start from the clues already showing. They talk about neighbours, rows, columns and professions.

2. 02

   Make a choice

   Tap a person to mark them innocent or criminal. They might reveal a new clue.

3. 03

   Don't guess

   The game only lets you make choices that follow from the clues. There's always a logical next step, even when it doesn't look like it.

4. 04

   Clear the grid

   Keep going until everyone is identified. Your share shows how long it took and who you got right first time.

Good to know

• Harder through the week. Puzzles get harder from Monday to Sunday. Last week's puzzles need a free account.
• Everyone tells the truth. Even the criminals. Neighbours include diagonals, so a person can have up to eight.
• Stuck? The hint button first shows which clues to look at, and a second press shows who you can identify.
• Reading the squares. Green is a person you got right, yellow means you made at least one mistake on them, and the yellow and orange dots are hints and double hints.
