Dear friends: There's no mystery here … or maybe there is. Today we offer you an "incredibly cool puzzle" (according to our test solvers) constructed by roster member Kate Jensen. It's a 12x12 grid and it's titled "Clue: The Whodunit That Depends on How You Do It."

Crossword puzzle with 11-Across highlighted: [Like a visit to Mr. Boddy's mansion] (12 letters)

Jess Rucks @jessbevrucks.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I’m very fond of this collab 🤩 Hope you enjoy! Seed entry at 65-Across - ["RuPaul's Drag Race" catchphrase]. Felt like the perfect entry to go with the revealer. And thus, this puzzle was born.
