How It Works
Search the grid
Drag across letters to find every word in the list — forward, backward, or diagonal.
Find the gap
One word on the list is missing from the grid entirely — that's the murder method.
Solve the case
Leftover letters spell the killer's name and crime scene. Crack it to close the file.
