How to Play Fathomrow

Fathomrow is a daily logic puzzle. Twenty clerks sit on five benches of four. Each clerk is either innocent or guilty, and each left one sentence.

An innocent clerk's sentence is true. A guilty clerk's sentence is false. Exactly one pattern of marks makes every sentence agree with that rule.

  1. Read the sentences that are already open. Bench-wide sentences name nobody, so they start unsealed.
  2. Tap a clerk once to mark innocent, again to mark guilty, and a third time to clear the mark.
  3. When you mark a clerk, sentences that name that clerk unseal.
  4. Hint names one seat the open sentences already force. It does not mark the seat for you.
  5. Fill all twenty seats. The result card gives a copyable grid with no link.
  6. On a keyboard, arrow keys move, I marks innocent, G marks guilty, Backspace clears, and H asks for a hint.
