Daily Murder Sudoku

Daily Murder Sudoku turns a placement puzzle into a small detective story. You read statements, arrange people on the board, and determine who shared a room with the victim. The row and column restrictions work alongside the clues, so every placement should make the whole story more consistent. Four puzzle sizes offer different amounts to untangle. Choose it when you want a daily deduction challenge that asks you to reason about people and locations instead of ordinary Sudoku digits.

Daily Murder Sudoku: useful things to know

Daily Murder Sudoku is for players who want to connect a detective story's statements with a structured placement puzzle.

What am I placing on the board instead of ordinary Sudoku digits?

You place people using the suspects' statements and the puzzle's row and column restrictions. The arrangement must make all the clues true, so a placement needs to fit the story as well as the board.

How does the victim's room identify the murderer?

The mystery asks who was alone with the victim. The publisher's rules specify two people in that room: the victim and the murderer. Use the completed, clue-consistent arrangement to identify that companion rather than guessing from a single statement.
