Dear friends: There's no mystery here … or maybe there is. Today we offer you an "incredibly cool puzzle" (according to our test solvers) constructed by roster member Kate Jensen. It's a 12x12 grid and it's titled "Clue: The Whodunit That Depends on How You Do It."

Here’s a quick hangman-meets-tricky-crossword-clues game. This week, I wrote the clues! www.bloomberg.com/games/alphad...
