Piece the Scene
The Dye Vat Stirred Twice
Indigo needs one stir at dusk to set evenly and nothing after — that is the whole discipline of the Dyers' Yard. This vat was stirred a second time anyway, the paddle still faintly warm, and a skein gone off the drying rack that should have held twenty come morning.
Each row and column has numbers beside it. Those numbers tell you how many squares in that line need to be filled in. Two numbers in one line means two separate groups, with at least one empty square between them.
Tap a square to fill it in. Tap again to mark it empty. Fill every square the numbers call for and a picture of the evidence appears.
Four wrong taps and you lose the case.
