Deduction

Here is where deduction puzzles start to feel like actual detective work. Four to five suspects, and the evidence no longer lines up neatly. Some clues only become useful after you combine them with other clues. Alibis have gaps. Timelines need careful checking.

At this level, you need to build small logical arguments. "Suspect B says they were at location X, but clue 3 shows the event at location X happened at 6 PM, and clue 5 puts suspect B somewhere else at 6 PM." That kind of multi-clue reasoning is the core skill. The answer isn't obvious from any single clue.

This is a good point to start playing in Challenge mode. With no hints, you need to rely on your own chain of reasoning and spot contradictions cleanly.
