What does Whodunit train?

It trains abductive reasoning · inference to the best explanation. You read the clues at the scene and find the single suspect whose marks account for all of them.

How do I find the culprit?

Check each suspect against the clues. Any suspect missing even one clue is ruled out · they could not have left it. The one suspect whose profile covers every clue is the answer.

How is Whodunit different from Inference?

Both reason backward from evidence to the best explanation. Whodunit resolves it by logical coverage (who explains all the clues?), while Inference resolves it by likelihood (which hidden source most likely produced the draw?).

Does Whodunit get harder?

Yes. Higher difficulty adds more clues and more suspects, and the wrong suspects share more of the clues · so each one is missing only a single mark and you have to check carefully.

Can I print Whodunit as a worksheet?

Yes. The clues and suspect profiles are emoji that print cleanly, so the worksheet generator at /worksheets produces the same eliminate-the-suspects task on paper, with a lettered answer key.
