Cinematrix helper

Find film intersections and a non-repeating nine-cell assignment.

Your puzzle

One per line. Examples: actor = Tom Hanks; year >= 1990; genre = drama film. Each row takes one supported predicate.

One per line, using the same syntax. A cell needs positive evidence for both its row and column.

Header then candidates: name | actor | director | year | source. Comma-separate multiple values. These are your facts; links are not fetched.

The example illustrates the helper; it is not a publisher's daily puzzle.

How the Cinematrix helper works

Find film intersections and a non-repeating nine-cell assignment. Results show their reference coverage and evidence links.

Results use the puzzle you enter; they are not verified daily answers. Your entries stay out of public URLs.

Solve intersections with alternatives in reserve

For each cell, combine the row and column clues and inspect films with positive evidence for both. The tool also finds a nine-film assignment that does not reuse an entity. Keeping several alternatives matters because a film that fits one cell may be the only recorded option for another.

Read a failed assignment cautiously

Nine nonempty cells can still fail the distinctness requirement if several depend on the same small set of films. The matching algorithm detects that conflict. A failure in this selected reference does not prove the actual puzzle unsolvable, and no current Cinematrix scoring rule or puzzle feed is assumed.
