Hmmm, not my best performance
No daily puzzle gets more "what the fuck"s from me than this one!
Clues by Sam - Jan 4th 2026 (Hard) Less than 18 minutes 🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩I love this game, really I do, but someone explain how Xia and Rose’s clues lead to Gary because I can not for the life of me puzzle out how that works.
spoiler
Xia: Peter is one of 2 criminals above Wally.
There are 4 people above Wally. 2 are criminals, so 2 must be innocent. Peter is one of the criminals, so only 1 of the 3 people above Peter is a criminal.
Rose: Only 1 of the 2 innocents neighbouring Gary is above Peter
2 of Gary’s neighbours are above Peter. If only 1 of them is innocent, then one is a criminal. There can only be 1 criminal above Peter though, so this means Gary can’t be that criminal and must be one of the 2 innocents.
That was a tough one. I wasn’t sure I’d finish.

Is there an archive or a way to play past puzzles?
I don’t think so.
