Is anyone else playing this? I tried it yesterday, and returned today.
It’s a little logic puzzle, with 20 people in a grid, and clues like, “Anna is one of 3 criminals in column A”. You need to determine who is a criminal and who is innocent.
I’m slow at it, which makes me a little sad because i used to be very good at this kind of thing. But I’m still finding it fun.
It gives you postable results like

And there seems to be a cute little story that develops over the course of a week…
But the tutorial is wrong. It says that everyone, even the criminals, tell the truth. But the criminals said on Monday that they weren’t going to commit any more crimes that week.
It’s my favorite daily game. I’m always annoyed when I’m trying to go fast, know I solved a square but forgot if it was “exactly 2 innocents below Alice” vs “2 criminal.”
There must be something about this game that I’m missing. For example, take Tuesday’s puzzle. The starting clue is “Only 1 of the 3 criminals above Xia is Berat’s neighbor.” I understand that to mean either Carol (C1) or Jason (C2) is a criminal. But how do you proceed from there? There are literally no other clues to go off of.

It had been too long since I did these types of puzzles and it took me a bit to remember how to think through this kind of thing. I found where someone does daily YouTube videos walking through the puzzles, and listening to her reasoning was helpful to me. Here’s a link to the video for yesterday’s puzzle, in case anyone else finds it useful.
I don’t generally go for speed, very rarely do I get anything faster than “you were faster than 50% of the players” and sometimes not even that, but it’s been months since I needed to use the hint button, and the only times I didn’t get a perfect score are a couple of occasions where I solved the next clue, but then mixed criminal and innocent in my head.
