How I Solved Profile Perfect Level 136

Looking over the clue list, the board layout gave me an immediate entry point. Several clues referred directly to physical column placement and relative distances, which made sorting out the owners the most logical place to start.

Joel and Dicky Fixed the Owner Row

The first thing I noticed was the direct positional clue stating that Joel's phone is the farthest from Phone A. Because the phones run from left to right, that placed Joel squarely in the Phone E slot.

With Joel fixed on the far right, I looked at the options for Dicky. One clue noted that Dicky owns either Phone C or Phone D, while another stated that Dicky is closer to Jeremy than to Joel. If Dicky owned Phone D, his distance to Joel at Phone E would only be one space, making it impossible to be closer to Jeremy. Therefore, Dicky had to be assigned to Phone C. To be closer to Jeremy than to Joel, Jeremy had to take Phone D, leaving Joel two spaces away at Phone E.

That left only Phone A and Phone B open for Billy and Natasha.

Case Colors and the Left Side Owners

Next, I looked at the case colors. I learned that a bright colored case sits between Dark Blue and Black cases, and that Natasha sits to the left of the Black case.

Because Dicky at Phone C already held the middle slot, placing the Black case at Phone C created an exact three-phone sequence on the left:

• Phone A received the Dark Blue case.
• Phone B received the Bright Blue case.
• Phone C received the Black case.

Since Natasha is to the left of the Black case, she took Phone B, leaving Billy to take Phone A.

With Dark Blue, Bright Blue, and Black assigned to the first three phones, the clue stating that two people have Green cases meant that Phone D and Phone E both received Green cases. The entire Case Color row and Owner row were now completely filled.

Wallpaper Placements Across the Grid

From there, I moved on to the wallpapers. The clue stating that Phone D's owner put a high score as wallpaper immediately identified Phone D as Arcade.

To place the remaining wallpapers, I compared the clues about Cityscape and Beach. Beach has more neighbors than Cityscape, which meant Beach had to be in an interior slot with two neighbors, while Cityscape had to sit on an outer edge with only one neighbor. Since Phone E was still open on the right edge and Phone A on the left edge, I checked the widget clue stating that to the right of Cityscape is either the Search Bar or Clock widget. Because a phone on the far right has no neighbor to its right, Cityscape had to be on Phone A.

Beach then naturally went to the interior slot at Phone C.

Another clue noted that Night Sky is the furthest from the Clock widget. Since Phone A is on the far left, Phone E on the far right took the Night Sky wallpaper. That left Pet as the only remaining wallpaper for Phone B.

Assigning the Final Widgets

The last step was locking down the widgets.

Knowing Cityscape was at Phone A, its neighbor to the right at Phone B had to carry the Search Bar widget, matching the clue about men not being up to date with political issues by assigning News / Search Bar to Natasha.

Since Night Sky at Phone E was the furthest from the Clock widget, Phone A took the Clock widget.

For the middle phones, Dicky checks his phone before jogging outside, which clearly matched the Weather widget for Phone C. The clue stating that to the right of the Beach wallpaper is either Clock or Music confirmed that Phone D took the Music Player widget.

That left Notes as the final unassigned widget, going straight into Phone E to finish the puzzle.

The Point Where I Nearly Went Wrong

The most deceptive moment came when interpreting the neighbor clue for the Cityscape wallpaper. Because the clue mentions that the right of Cityscape has either a Search Bar or Clock widget, it is easy to assume that Cityscape could sit somewhere in the middle of the grid.

However, cross-referencing this with the clue stating Beach has more neighbors than Cityscape prevents that mistake. Cityscape must have fewer neighbors than an interior cell, which forces it to Phone A on the edge. Remembering that an edge slot still has a valid right neighbor cleared up any confusion immediately.

Looking Back At The Solution

Placing Joel at the far edge and using distance comparisons to lock Dicky into Phone C was the breakthrough that made this solve smooth. Once the owner order was established, the color sequence and wallpaper neighborhood rules quickly resolved every remaining category without guesswork.
