Elimination
A list of candidates and a set of clues, each of which describes the answer and nobody else. Rule out the ones that cannot fit until a single choice is left. The topic changes every round, so it is never the same puzzle twice.
How it works
- Every clue describes the one answer, and nobody else.
- Tap a choice to rule it out. Tap again to bring it back — crossing out costs nothing.
- Pin the clue you are working from and it follows you to the choices.
- When one choice is left, submit it. That is the only move that can be wrong.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- Deduction in a couple of minutes
- A new subject every round
- Ruling things out freely with no penalty
