How to play

A new case to untangle, every day. Find out who did it, how, and where.

Solve the word search. Drag across letters to select a word. Words run across, down or diagonally, forwards or backwards.
Spot the missing word. One word on the list is always missing from the grid, on purpose. Don't hunt for it: it's your first clue.
Collect the unused letters. Read the letters no word used, left to right and top to bottom. Some answers may be backwards.
Solve the case. Open the evidence board to unlock your accusation, then name the killer, the method and the location.

Example

CLEAVER is on the list but not in the grid. It fits the method boxes. The unused letters are:

NDILLONED

DILLON is hiding in the middle: the killer. The leftover N E D reads DEN backwards: the location.

Unused letters

NTIMED

TIM is hiding in the middle: the killer. The letters around him, N … E D, read DEN backwards: the location. So Tim took the pie with a spoon, in the den.
