Sized-Up Text, Smarter Highlights, and a New Clue Type!
Improved readability, click-to-highlight character references, added the new 'K of J Role Neighbor Someone Is Another’s Neighbor' clue type, plus fixes to its directional variants.
Over the past week, Clues of Who has quietly leveled up again!
Today’s update focuses on readability, clearer character referencing, and—most excitingly—a brand-new clue type that opens up some truly spicy deduction chains.
📏 Text Sized Up for Easy Reading
A highly requested improvement:
All puzzle text, character names, and clue blocks have been scaled up for mobile clarity.
No more squinting or pinching to zoom — the entire puzzle is easier to scan at a glance so you can stay in deduction-flow mode.
🔍 Clicking Revealed Characters Now Highlights Mentions
This feature feels small but massively boosts usability:
- When you click a revealed character,
- Every clue that references that character now lights up.
This makes backtracking deductions dramatically faster — no more hunting manually through clue blocks to remember who mentioned whom.
It’s especially useful in late-game puzzles when the clue web gets dense.
🧩 New Clue Type:
K of J Role Neighbor Someone Is Another’s Neighbor
This one is fun.
Starting with puzzle #3, we’ve introduced a new rule pattern:
“K of J
This creates deduction paths where you must reason about:
- shared neighbors
- overlapping adjacency sets
- roles that appear in constrained geometric patterns
It adds a richer, more interconnected logic flavor—less “isolated arithmetic,” more “village gossip geometry.”
🎯 Example (not from an actual puzzle):
“Exactly 2 of the 3 innocents beside Mira are also Leo’s neighbors.”
This forces spatial reasoning in all directions and creates elegant deduction pivots that feel very satisfying.
🛠 Fix for Directional K-of-J Variants
We extended the same rule to positional variants:
- K of J role above X
- K of J role below X
- K of J role left of X
- K of J role right of X
To keep clues logically meaningful:
- K is never 0, and
- the two referenced characters always share at least one neighbor,
ensuring the rule produces real deductions rather than empty conditions.
More improvements are coming — including more Werewolf-style voice clues and deeper mystery-world immersion.
If you haven’t solved today’s puzzle yet, enjoy the new logic toys… and see if today’s overlapping-neighbor clue trips you up!
Happy deducing! 🔍🐺
