Suspectle

Suspectle gives you a case file: a setting such as Ashcombe Manor, the Valley Dig or Vestfjell Station, a handful of suspects, a victim and a short list of clues. On 20 October 2026 the case was Footsteps on the Cellar Stair, a Starter case with four suspects on a 5 by 5 plan of the Billiard Room, Morning Room, Library and Drawing Room, and four clues.

The board is a top-down floor plan drawn in pixel art. Squares with furniture are taken, except chairs a suspect can sit in, and rooms are patches of matching floor. Each suspect stands in a row and a column no one else uses. The clues say who was beside a bookcase, in an armchair or north of someone, and once everyone is placed the victim takes the last legal square. The suspect in the same room is the murderer. Every case is checked to be solvable without guessing.

Cases come in four levels, Starter, Standard, Tricky and Case File, with grids up to 7 by 7 and ten clues at the harder end. The game marks a clue the board breaks, gives hints on request, and a first-time player can ask for a guided first move. Past daily cases stay in an archive, and the rest of its 62 cases can be played at any time.

The same site runs Break the Story, a five-part suspect statement to put in order in eight attempts with its own daily, plus Sort the Evidence and Piece the Scene, which add new puzzles less often. It is free in the browser with no account and no ads, and it suits players who like a short whodunit with a provable answer.
