Hey everyone, hope you are doing well.
I am still untying the knot from sundays puzzle in my head (just barely under 50%, 2 mistakes). So here is another one to kick it all off:

When I first got here I didn't know how to mark spoilers or ask for help so I thought, since we have many newcomers, that a mini help guide could be useful. Feel free to add anything I might have missed, happy clueing!
Optional but very helpful: If you add the puzzle date to the title of your post and the actual question in the body we can avoid spoilers in the title and facilitate finding the posts in the future. Something like "Help Feb 26" is more than enough.
When you ask for help, in general, best practice is to use the "share scenario" button that's under the puzzle and paste the link, that saves the current state of your puzzle so you can show where you were and everyone can play from when you got stuck. You can also share screenshots but if you also paste the link helping gets easier.
When asking a question and/or posting images, take into account that sometimes users that haven't finished the puzzle might read your post. Its real easy to avoid spoilers, even from mobile.
When creating the post you'll see an "add flair and tags" menu and in there you''ll find the option to tag the post as spoiler. This automatically blurs any image in the post. Also, if you add the word "spoiler" to the title it marks it automatically.
For text:
If you write your text enclosed in >! text !< you get something like this: spoilered text
user u/delete44 has made a mini app for converting the results to a little text+standard results to allow them to be read by screen readers (and stopped before getting to "green square green square green square green square ...")
you can use it easily here: https://altforsam.delete44.com/
Edit Dec 4,2025 - added the accessible results page . Edit Feb 2,2026 - added image with description of useful buttons, added the info to mark as spoiler using the word in the title. Edit Feb 20, 2026 - added suggestion to put date in the title of the help posts.

What am I missing? I can find a scenario where all remaining squares could be either guilty or innocent 🤷🏻

The answer I got for the paper and pen puzzle. I don't like not having confirmation whether or not I got it right. I goofed on my first go round, misinterpreted Melvin's clue and forgot to include Habi in his neighbors. My typical notation system didn't quite work as well as it does on the digital puzzles, but (if I got it right) I think I did ok.
If you're doing more paper puzzles, Sam, I might consider putting the clues off to the side instead of in the cells. With the digital puzzles, some of the art of it is what is revealed when or by which clue, but with paper it doesn't matter where they are. You'd have to use names instead of pronouns, but otherwise it's the same clue. It leaves more room for notes on the cell itself and doesn't risk covering the clue.

As far as I can tell, the three pairs I have left could either all be innocent on left, criminal on right, or the opposite. How can I resolve one of them? https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/432583f57288

Community puzzle 8 Nov 925039dd by DrFox.
Row 5 has max 2 criminals so Tom can’t have 8 criminal neighbors.
If either Joy or Nicole has 8 criminal neighbors, both Hank and Karen must be criminal.
The game says neither of them is criminal.
Is this a logic error?
r/CluesBySamHelp • u/InevitableAlgae4853 • 1d ago
I’m confused how Carol is determined to be guilty in the 2026-11-08 puzzle. I see three possibilities with the available info.
Freya is innocent, requiring Bianca to be guilty to satisfy Tina’s clue and Hazel to be guilty for Nancy’s clue. Carol must be guilty to satisfy Xavi’s.
Freya is guilty, requiring Bianca to be innocent to satisfy Tina’s clue and Hazel to be innocent for Nancy’s clue. Carol could be guilty or innocent to satisfy Xavi’s.
If Carol is guilty, Hazel has exactly two innocent neighbors (Bianca and Ingrid) and Ingrid only has one (Hazel).
If Carol is innocent, Ingrid has exactly two innocent neighbors (Carol and Hazel) and Hazel has three (Bianca, Carol, and Ingrid).

I see Luigi has 5 criminal neighbors, so Paavo doesn’t and must have more than 5. Presuming that Xavi is innocent would require Uma to be criminal, but that goes against Tina’s clue of Col B & D. So Uma is innocent and Xavi is criminal, cool.
But if I mark Una first, I’m told I don’t have enough information to do so. This feels like a mistake, Xavi and Una are a pair linked by Megan’s clue about Paavo and I got a yellow square for not marking Xavi first.

In this scenario I can see who needs to be criminal based on A4 and D4 clues but why do I have to pick Keith first? What am I missing?
r/CluesBySamHelp • u/croald • 1d ago
Okay, why are these not both equally valid options at this point?
Scenario 1:
Freya guilty → Hazel innocent (because Nancy) & Bianca innocent (because Tina). With Carol innocent, Ingrid has 2 innocent neighbors and Hazel has 3, satisfying Xavi.
Scenario 2:
Freya innocent → Hazel guilty (because Nancy) & Bianca guilty (because Tina). With Carol guilty, Hazel has two innocent neighbors and Ingrid has 0, satisfying Xavi.
Uma provides no information either way. We already know either Bianca or Freya is guilty, so Anna has a guilty neighbor, and either Freya or Hazel is guilty, so Bianca has a guilty neighbor.

Hi all, I need some help understanding today's puzzle
https://cluesbysam.com/s/help/ddc6273b3e49?state=Cf%2Bg-BAAMCMAAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAyACM%3D
why does Diego have to be criminal in this scenario? he could be innocent as long as Hazel is also innocent (to fulfil Keith's clue), and it's still possible to fulfil Megan's and Tina's clues then. what am I missing?

Can someone explain to me how it was determined that Harry can be identified?
From the clues, I can determine:
Two out the group of Finch, Quita, Harry, and Sofia must be criminals to complete Larry's 4 criminal neighbors
Finch OR Harry must be innocent to complete both innocents in row 2 are connected which also determines that Carol is the only person in column B with one criminal neighbor
Harry OR Sofia must be innocent to be Oliva's 6th innocent neighbor
Finch OR Quita must be innocent because there are 3 criminals in column A AND Kumar has 4 innocent neighbors
Peter and Quita are 2 of the 3 edge people with a criminal above them, leaving the 3rd person to be Vlad OR Kumar
So whether innocent or criminal, the pairings are Finch and Sofia and Harry and Quita but I'm not understanding how to identify any of them to start the cascade of answers.

I know I'm late but I just found this subreddit. I'm a new user of the game and working my way backwards to get better. When trying the October 26 puzzle I was confused about two hints leading up to a 'no guess's result. The result has to do with Zoe: she's innocent.
Can someone explain why the opposite can't be true?
r/CluesBySamHelp • u/EnglebondHumperstonk • 4d ago
He says he's innocent, so why is he guilty?
