Clue help.

Rules, definitions, and record-reading help without closing the file for you.

Use this when the wording trips you up. It should clarify the puzzle, not solve it.

Evidence glossary

What the clues mean.

What counts as a vowel?

A, E, I, O, U. Count every occurrence.

What is a repeated consonant?

A consonant appearing more than once in the first name.

How should I read the placement clues?

Some clues depend on where names appear on the suspect-record page. When a clue says someone is directly above or directly below, study the layout carefully. The records are not just a list — their positions matter.

What is a Suspect Records page?

The page number printed in the suspect records.

How do role codes work?

Use the Role Code Key in the book.

Are the clues in order?

No. Use them in whatever order helps you eliminate suspects.
