Answer Explanation

4 / 18 steps visible
01 · Step 1

Henry’s clue says that Wally is one of Vicky’s exactly 2 criminal neighbors. That directly identifies Wally as a criminal. So Wally must be criminal.

02 · Step 2

Wally’s clue says there are exactly 3 innocents below Donna. Below Donna, there is already 1 known innocent, and the only unknown people left there are Nick and Stella. That means the 2 remaining innocent spots below Donna have to be Nick and Stella. So Nick and Stella must be innocent.

03 · Step 3

Henry’s clue says that Wally is one of Vicky’s exactly 2 criminal neighbors. Among Vicky’s neighbors, Stella is already innocent and Wally is already one criminal, so the only still-unknown neighbor left in that group is Rob. That means Rob has to be the second criminal neighbor Vicky has. So Rob must be criminal.

04 · Step 4

Nick’s clue says Stella has exactly 3 innocent neighbors, and exactly 2 of those innocent neighbors also neighbor Joy. In the overlap between Stella’s neighbors and Joy’s neighbors, the only people are Nick, who is already innocent, and Ollie. That overlap still needs 1 more innocent person, and Ollie is the only unknown person left there. So Ollie must be innocent.
