The smartest way to play Clue. Track every suggestion, see exactly who holds what, and let the solver crack the case while you focus on the game. Clue Solver is an independent companion app for the classic mystery deduction board game. It replaces your paper detective notepad with a real-time deduction engine that reasons through every turn — tracking card ownership, resolving ambiguous clues, calculating envelope probabilities, and explaining exactly why each deduction was made. WHAT IT DOES - Records each suggestion and tracks which player showed a card (or didn't) - Automatically deduces card ownership and envelope contents from the game's logic - Shows live probabilities for every unknown card based on feasible solutions - Explains its reasoning in plain language so you can verify and learn - Detects contradictions when a turn entry doesn't fit the evidence - Provides a traditional detective notepad grid with tap-to-mark cells - Includes a freehand drawing layer for personal notes on top of the grid SETUP IN UNDER A MINUTE Choose your edition, enter player names and seat order, select your hand, and start investigating. Saved case files let you pause and resume across sessions. BUILT FOR REAL GAMES AT REAL TABLES This is not a digital board game. It's a tool for one player sitting at a physical table. Enter turns in seconds, glance at the Cards or Players tab for instant insight, and keep your strategy private. EDITIONS Supports Classic Clue and Alfred Hitchcock editions, with more editions coming soon. This app is not associated with, endorsed by, or affiliated with Hasbro or any board game manufacturer.

WordXing™ is the fast-paced word-crossing game for the iPhone and iPad. Players are given a set of letters to form into a single group of words that cross each other vertically and horizontally. WordXing is exciting to play because: • Intuitive interface makes game play easy and fast: • Play new words by tapping each letter in sequence and then drag and drop the word onto the game board. • Letters that have already been played can be rearranged to form different/better words. • New letters can be requested and existing letters can be exchanged for new letters. • WordXing accepts dictionary words as valid, but also accepts proper names, geographical names, abbreviations, slang, and pop-culture words. • Double points are awarded for long words and words containing the special, “2X” letter chosen randomly at the start of the game. • Play solo or against an opponent. • The entire game is played in one turn. You never have to wait to play, even when playing an opponent. • Concisely displays the pending games between you and your opponents. • Tracks your recent and best games played, enabling review of scores and final board layouts for you and your opponents. • Two game types: time-limited and score-target games, each with short, medium, and long options. • Play left or right handed - just rotate your device to find the best orientation for you. WordXing supports 11 languages: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. When you get WordXing, you get the app, the whole app, and nothing but the app! WordXing has no ads and no in-app purchases.
