Whodunnit Daily — Answer for July 9, 2026
Today's case: The Lost Diamond. A loose diamond disappeared from the jeweler's tray. 4 customers stood at the counter. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Reed: “It was Liv.”
- Sol: “It was Liv or Nora.”
- Liv: “It was Nora or Reed.”
- Nora: “I didn't do it.”
Hint
Two people point the same way. If they're right, the accused is the one who must be lying — which is exactly what the guilty one does.
The culprit
Guilty: Liv
Why (step by step)
Walk it through with Liv as the culprit: Reed said “It was Liv.” — that holds up, and an innocent person tells the truth — consistent. Sol said “It was Liv or Nora.” — true — and since the innocent never lie, that fits. Liv said “It was Nora or Reed.” — a lie, and since just one person lies, the guilt lands here. Nora said “I didn't do it.” — that is TRUE, which is exactly what an innocent suspect must say — fine. Try the same walk-through with any other suspect guilty and a contradiction appears immediately. Only Liv survives every check — the puzzle has exactly one answer.
