For PH Puzzlers - Clues by Sam

[Russet Grange]

Rare for me to start a thread but there's a Wordle thread so PH Puzzlers might like to take a look at my current favourite, Clues by Sam:

https://cluesbysam.com/

A logic puzzle which gets more difficult throughout the week, so Monday is a good day to start. I won't explain it here, it's pretty simple to get the idea, and there are various tutorials available.

Takes a bit longer than Wordle, so maybe 5-6 minutes to solve Monday's puzzle, and a fair bit longer for Sunday.

That is quite interesting, yes, will give a few a go.

Enjoyed that, always good to give the brain a little workout.

[Sporky]

Only done the three tutorials so far, but this is ace. Thank you.

‘Less than 11 minutes’ for me

[Sporky]

05:30, though one guess that wasn't supported by the evidence. Not bad for first go.

[Blatter]

Very good!

[TheDrownedApe]

Oh I like it, less than 10

I enjoyed that, cheers for the link. "Under 14 minutes", for today.

I'll never get anything done now, with this and Squaredle, Wordle, Word Hurdle and Strands.

I m not getting this. I ve guessed one already and left with this. Can someone show me which piece of logic I m missing



I have no info on Aaron or Zara. The other two could be either criminal or innocent from the clues available.

[Opapayer]

This was the earlier point where I had to guess

[Russet Grange]

You never, ever, have to guess. Logic will always solve the puzzle.

Terry, Kevin and Gabe clues are needed

[spoiler]Both innocents in row five are connected, so we know that row has two innocents. We know there are nine innocents around the edges, so Aaron must be innocent.{/spoiler]

Hence why I’m asking. I can not see any logical way to solve this. I’ve posted the second photo which shows the point where I reached a full stop.
