Gossipdle
Sort the gossips from the guilty in a daily logic grid of 20 characters.
Every day: One dated gossip-themed deduction grid a day, the same for everyone: work out which of 20 characters are guilty and which innocent from their clues, harder towards the weekend. New puzzle: Midnight New York time.
Gossipdle is a daily deduction puzzle in the style of Clues by Sam with a gossipy theme. A grid of 20 characters, from office workers to comic dealers, hides the guilty; mark each one guilty or innocent, and every correct call reveals that person's clue to help with the next.
About Gossipdle
Gossipdle takes the guilty-or-innocent grid popularised by Clues by Sam and wraps each day's puzzle in a story: office gossip, college admissions, psychics, horse racing, boutique gyms, auction houses and more, chosen from a pool of themes. The site credits Clues by Sam as its inspiration.
You start with one revealed clue. Using it, you tap a character and mark them innocent or guilty. A correct call reveals that character's own clue, which opens up the next deduction. The game will not let you make a call that is not logically justified, and there is always a next move that can be proved. The goal is to classify all 20 characters, ideally with no hints and no mistakes.
Difficulty follows the week: Surface Gossip on Monday and Tuesday, Inside Scoop from Wednesday to Friday, Top Secret at the weekend. A weekly meta puzzle asks you to catch the mastermind. A new dated puzzle arrives at midnight New York time, and you can share your progress or result grid.
It suits fans of Clues by Sam, Murdle and Einstein riddles.
How to play Gossipdle

Tips
