| Looks interesting. It took me a while to figure out how the grid | |
| works on the sample. So I was really slow. | |
| I�ll give it a try on the actual puzzle a little later though. | |

| Me, too. But I eventually figured out that if you click on the | |
| labels under the set of cards it shows you what the other | |
| symbols on the grid stand for. | |
| Still, fun, and a bit of a break from just vocabulary exercises. | |

| Thanks! | |
| Most of my life, I did a lot of Dell Puzzles of various kinds | |
| including Logic problems. So while I was figuring out the sample | |
| puzzle, I found myself wishing I could put both negative and | |
| positive conclusions into the grid like I could on paper. Then I | |
| clicked a red X and discovered the Yes I could! Game changer (so | |
| to speak.) | |
| Nonetheless, this did prompt me to order some Dell Math and | |
| Logic magazines. Haven't done them in a long time and maybe they | |
| would tempt me away from my computer now and then. :) | |
| Meanwhile, I do like the online version and will keep doing it. | |
| I've already completed the one for today. Fun change. | |

| Apparantly I'm very bad at these. | |
| I know I'm missing something in terms of how to use the grid but | |
| I can't figure out what it is. | |

| Things I figured out. Maybe some will be what you already know, | |
| but maybe some will help. | |
| - If the clue makes a declarative and affirmative statement | |
| (e.g. The tallest suspect was seen at x location) click on the | |
| square that intersects that suspect and that location. First you | |
| will get a red X. That means they don't go together. So, click | |
| it again, and it will give you a green check, meaning they | |
| belong together. In addition, it will put purple Xs under all | |
| the other suspects for that location since only one suspect per | |
| location or weapon is possible. | |
| - If the clue gives a declarative negative statement, then leave | |
| the box at the red X. | |
| - Side note: At first I was going back and forth, because I | |
| couldn't always remember which icon was which. Turns out that I | |
| could hover over it, and it would tell me what it represents. | |
| - Side note 2: I was also opening and closing the notebook every | |
| time I want to fill in the grid. I don't know why I didn't think | |
| to see if the smaller grid on the right side of the main page | |
| was functional. But eventually I did, and it is. | |
| Eventually, you will have a grid with Xs, checks, and blanks. At | |
| this point, it's necessary to use deductive reasoning to fill in | |
| the blanks. E.g. If suspect x has weapon y and you know that | |
| weapon y does not belong to location z, then suspect x also | |
| cannot belong to location z. | |

| Thanks, I hadn't figured out the hovering. That will save me | |
| time and patience. | |
| And your final point is good. I did figure out the checks and | |
| Xs. But then I'm left with a lot of empty spaces. | |
| I'm an intuitive thinker by nature so I have to really force | |
| myself into using deductive logic. But it's good for me to try. | |

| This is a steep learning curve. I had to find an online site | |
| (reddit as it turned out) to learn how to use the decoder ring, | |
| because nothing was working. | |
| I got the weapon right on the grid but filled out the answer | |
| wrong. I need to be sure to double check before I submit. | |
| But this was my fastest time even compared to the original | |
| sample. So, I must be learning. | |

| I accidentally happened on the way to use the decoder ring. | |
| I'm not paying any attention to time on any game anymore. It's | |
| one of the ways I'm reducing stress in my life. | |
