The hints for this puzzle type are worthless. I got to a point where I needed two more guilties with something like 7 possibilities. i asked for a hint and told me "this person can't be guilty because of clue 7", which told me how many were on the edge. The only way that clue could tell me that person wasn't guilty would be if I already knew which ones on the edge were guilty. This is not the first time I've experienced that.

When I feel like that, it's usually because either:- there are only guilty folks left, or
- some other clues have eliminated some candidates and I haven't marked them as innocent

One of the things which catches me sometimes is mixing up the columns/rows clues, like in "There are 3 guilty in rows 1 and 2" - I may think there are 2 or 3 guilty in rows 1 and 3.Comment

Completely agree that the clues are worthlessComment

Hey galore, I just encountered this puzzle where you found the hints confusing.
Rachel was the last one in for me too. In this case, she had to be guilty (despite no clues referencing her directly). She had to be guilty because of the clue saying there were 5 guilty folk on the edge of the grid and she was the only unmarked person not on the edge.
