Chapter 7 of 10
Morris Klein is the only writer WHRM has ever needed. He works with the door shut and the lamp low, and his desk keeps his secrets badly: drafts in the drawer, notes pinned three deep, an ashcan full of false starts. The ending of a twelve-season serial should be the proudest page in the office, and there is no ending here at all. But the typewriter ribbon tells its own story: the same final scene typed twice in one week. Two versions. Only one survived the desk. Read closely, the ribbon says what they said. In the sponsor's version, the leads marry sensibly and advertise well. In the version typed at two in the morning, a character finally says the sentence he has owed her for twelve seasons. The desk kept neither page. The ribbon keeps everything.

About this case
A chapter of The Last Page of the Night, a mystery told in word searches. Each chapter leaves you one clue; the finale needs them all.
How a mystery chapter works
- 1Read the scene first.Every chapter opens with a scene from the case. The word list is drawn from it, and so is the clue.
- 2Find the words.Tap a word's first letter, then tap along to its last, or press and drag. Found words colour themselves in and cross off the list.
- 3One listed word is not in the grid.Find the other nine and the word left over is the chapter's clue. Note it down, or let the case page keep it for you.
- 4The finale needs every clue.The last puzzle's word list is the clues you collected, and once you find them all, the leftover letters spell out who did it, and why.
