A reddit post titled "every day in r/cluesbysamhelp" depicting a knight covered in full armor with subtext "actual logic error found in today's puzzle" followed by a picture with an arrow sticking out from the tiny hole in the visor, the arrow is titled "first comment".

This post still makes me giggle every time it happens to surface:

Today's Sunday Solve of Clues by Sam: youtu.be/ikDTU9ERDgY

Clues by Sam is a daily logic #puzzle from @cluesbysam.com that gets progressively more difficult throughout the week, culminating on Sunday. Follow along or try it yourself via CluesBySam.com !

You can just consider it part of the evil challenge 😄

Or not. That would make existing discussions confusing... So leaving it like this.
Something went wrong when I added some new names, messed up the order of a few

Thanks, swapped them.

Oh! True! Whoops 😄

What is?

For now! It's a start.

This will also allow you to link your locally stored results to a persistent account, so you don't lose all your personal stats!

Well done! Some of the puzzle pack ones are way trickier than an average daily one.

If you are able to disable it just for this page, then you can instead zoom the whole page.

Alright, yeah, that's an older one. The button didn't exist back then, unfortunately.
Oh, right, yeah. Is there a possibility in DuckDuckGo to create some alternative profile or something that wouldn't have that font size increase, just for this site?

By the way, are you using chrome with a min font size setting, or something else that is causing the text not to fit?

Could you please share me the link? Could it be that it's an older puzzle? The button hasn't always been there.

Oh, nice! Thanks!

Minimizing the window don't pause as far as I know (but suspending the browser if you're on phone does).

Haha, awesome 😄

Oh, and don't worry about the stats. There's enough data that you shouldn't need to worry about it. The times are also medians and not averages, so even if you spend 10 hours on it, it won't matter much!

You can close the page, or just switch tabs. That will pause it until you come back. I will introduce a pause button at some point, but hope this helps until then!

Thank you! 😍

Somewhat surprisingly, the times are slightly faster for those with a perfect solve. Probably since the perfect solvers are often the best solvers. But still not fast enough to be super interesting. So I don't bother displating them.

Yes! It turns into a "Well done!" text. Clicking that will turn it back to stats. A bit hidden, but it's there!

I updated to the new iOS version. I don't like to complain, but let's just say that even after swapping to the much more readable "tinted" look, all this liquid glass and these oddly sharp and unnatural outlines are going to take some time to get used to!

Not everyone likes stats. I know.
If you'd rather not see the new stats feature in #CluesBySam, just click on them and they will go away!

Olof had 3 innocent neighbour. If Stella had been innocent, he would have had 4, violating Wanda's clue!

Maybe it was 😉 Definitely not a coinsidence!

Did anyone notice today's share text has the hashtag #CluesBySam? Is it a permanent change, or just thematic to match the day's chatter? We'll find out tomorrow!

Olof had 3 innocents neighbours. Looking at Wanda's clue, what does that tell you about Stella?
