Find every word hidden in the grid except one. The letters left behind — and the word that never showed up — are all the evidence you get. Name the killer, the method, and the location before the case goes cold.
MurdSearch is a murder-mystery word search: you find every word in the list except one, then use the letters left behind in the grid to work out who the killer is and where the crime happened. The one word you never find is the murder method — you have to name all three, killer, method, and location, correctly to close the case.
Search the 8×8 grid and find every word on the list — drag across letters, forwards, backwards, or diagonally.
One word on the list is never in the grid. That’s not a bug — it’s your first clue.
Once every findable word is found, the letters nobody used are left over in the grid. That’s your evidence.
Type your three answers into the letter-boxed fields and submit. Get one wrong and you’ll see which field to fix — get all three right and the case closes.

MurdSearch is a murder-mystery word search. You find every word in the list except one, then use the letters left behind in the grid to name the killer and the location — the missing word itself is the murder method.
In a normal word search, finding every word ends the puzzle. In MurdSearch, one word is never in the grid on purpose, and the letters you don’t use to find words become the real evidence — finding the words is only step one.
Every case ends the same way: you submit three answers — the killer, the method, and the location. Get one wrong and the game tells you which field to fix, without giving away the answer.
There’s no separate hint button for the word search itself — but if you submit a wrong answer, MurdSearch tells you which of the three fields (killer, method, or location) is correct and which isn’t, so you always know what to work on next.
Playing requires a Detective Club membership, which also unlocks every Murder Mystery Case and Mystery Sudoku case. Browsing the case library is always free.
