Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 22/09/2026My transactional email provider just suspended my account. No one was able to create accounts or purchase puzzle packs. All my business ground to a halt on this beautiful morning on my vacation. I had to debug their system for them to get the account re-activated. They didn't even say sorry. 7355
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 20/09/2026Ouch, so sad. Such a great performance on such a hard puzzle! 010
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 20/09/2026You're absolutely right. Also yesterday was probably Brutal and not Hard. I don't know what went into me ranking these... 121
Reposted by Games by SamCelia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026One of my favorite things about Clues by Sam @cluesbysam.com is the corner tags - I love the extra strategic layer of how to use them optimally and how clever I feel when my systems work out. Today, September 3rd, was a great showcase of all my favorite tagging strategies. Let me show you them! 2202
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 03/09/2026Yeah, well... 😅 By the way, results with an excessive amount of hints or errors are excluded from the stats. You can still share them, but they won't affect the percentiles seen by others. 100
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 20/08/2026Though looking at those yellow squares, I can already guess the issue since someone else had the same problem. I'm guessing you didn't consider that Ben could be Gary's 3rd innocent neighbour. 020
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 20/08/2026If you can share the scenarios (replay and use "Share scenario") at those points, I'm happy to explain! The puzzle is never wrong! 120

Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 08/08/2026Hey! You're absolutely right! How embarrassing. This was from an old archive of puzzles I "hadn't released", but turns out I had actually released it 2025-08-30. Something went wrong in my process at some point... Will add a new verification step to my process! Well spotted! 110

Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 11/06/2026The cards have an onClick handler, and an onPointerDown handler for the color picker. When implementing it, I had trouble preventing onClick from happening when the picker was visible. At some point I added a redundant preventDefault to onPointerDown handler. This never prevented onClick before now. 010
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 10/06/2026I believe this is now fixed. Please let me know if you're facing any more issues with this! 110
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 10/06/2026Seems like there's a problem with iOS 27. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon, but it's a pretty weird issue... 110
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 09/06/2026There is always a logical explanation when this happens. The game NEVER prevents a logical choice. Next time it happens, please share the scenario and someone will be happy to explain what you missed! 030

Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 25/05/2026I replay puzzles quite a bit. Often I've forgotten completely about them, but seems like on every replay I feel like dropping the difficulty ranking a notch from my previous judgement, even if I don't remember solving it before. Feels like the brain does some hardwiring for the specific puzzles. 010
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 20/05/2026One way to read "one innocent has an innocent below" is "there's a stack of 2 innocents", meaning that if there're 3 persons stacked, the middle one must be innocent. 130
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 19/05/2026Based on the result, you were stuck on identifying Chris. You knew there were exactly 6 criminals on the edges. You knew 5 of them, so you needed 1 more. You also knew there is one more criminal in column A, so that person was the missing criminal. Chris was also on the edge, but not in column A. 000
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 19/05/2026Yes, that is so. I apologise for any confusion. But hey, they talk! 010
Games by Sam @cluesbysam.com · 18/05/2026Thanks for reporting this. Could you clarify, what did you reset? Did you restart the progress of a puzzle, or did you reset something else? I'm asking since restart already has a confirmation, and I don't know what else you can reset... 000
