How to read neighbor clues without guessing

Clues by Sam is a daily logic puzzle about identifying criminals and innocents on a 5x4 grid. Every clue is truthful, neighbors include diagonals, and you never need to guess—there is always a logical next move.

• Remember that all clues are honest, even from criminals.
• Neighbors include diagonals; connected chains are orthogonal only.
• Use color tags to park hypotheses and test them safely.
• Mark proven innocents first to unlock more clues.
