It becomes apparent that a mystery or a puzzle is in play. The problem is that only a single word or two gives any clue of what to do next. Perhaps it was all a dying person could give before they died. Of course, someone could have simply been too weak and passed out before they could communicate more. Perhaps there wasn't room or ink enough to make more than one word. Perhaps a puzzlemaster wants to make things difficult for the player. Maybe it was all they could write because they Couldn't Find a Pen. Regardless, this is all one has to work with. There is not enough even for a riddle; just a couple random words to work with. This is frequently with the Dying Clue trope, but not necessarily. Index: The One and Only Index, This Index Is a Clue |

Sherlock: in "A Study in Pink", the primary clue in the mystery is that the murder victim scrawled the word "rache" in their dying moments. This is directly lifted from being an adaptation of "A Study in Scarlet". It goes in a different direction, however. | |

Dark Souls III: In the Ringed City there's a wall with an inscription that tells you to "Show your Humanity". You need to use a White Branch or the Chameleon spell while standing in a nearby swamp in order to be disguised as a Giant Humanity from Dark Souls and approach the wall. This causes a ladder to descend. This is the only puzzle in the game that uses this mechanic. | |

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective: In the episode "Night of the Gorilla", Ace tries to prove that a gorilla did not killed the scientist that raised her. The gorilla is trained to use sign language and can write so Ace tries to use her as a witness, but all she repeats over and over again is the word "murder�. Turns out that the actual murderer is a rival scientist named Dr. Redrum (Ace finally figures it out when he sees one of the gorilla's writings of "murder" in a mirror, even). | |

Played with in one of Virtue's Last Reward's bad endings. A dying woman writes 'dio' in blood on her leg. This is a perfectly good dying message and would easily have revealed the killer, Dio...except for the fact, after her death, a reversal of that message was imprinted on her other leg, and that message just so happened to be the one everyone else saw and assumed to be what she wrote. So it instead looks like '016', and the cast- having recently discovered a room full of Ridiculously Human Robots- start searching for a robot with that serial number. Hilarity does not ensue, especially because there actually is a robot with that serial number Hiding in Plain Sight amongst the cast, but she's completely innocent of any crime.. | |

In the first half of 2006, the big mystery for WWE was why Kane went nuts whenever he heard "May 19th". Kane would later reveal that this was the date of the fire that turned him into what he is. note The real reason for the date was that May 19, 2006 was the release date of his movie See No Evil and WWE wanted fans to remember the release date. | |

A Study in Scarlet: The word Rache is found written on the wall at a murder scene. The police inspectors think someone was interrupted while trying to write the name Rachel, but Sherlock Holmes points out that "rache" is German for "revenge". This turns out to be a complete Red Herring. While the murder was an act of vengeance, the killer doesn't speak German and only wrote the word on the wall because he'd read about it happening in another murder case. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: "Swamp, Mountain, Ocean, Canyon,... the four who are there... bring them here!" Those are the words Tael give to his sister Tatl during the final hours before the moon's impact on Termina. Once Link and Tatl returns to the first day, the latter complains about Tael's statements being always cryptic, since Tael merely mentioned the four major regions surrounding Termina Field without specifying who are the ones needed (the Skull Kid did know what Tael meant to say, so he hit him for talking too much). It's not until Link conquers the Woodfall Temple when he and Tatl realize that the four ones are the Giants who protect the land. | |

Netajin: Parodied in one of Japanese comedian Tomonori Jinnai's skits; he plays a police officer who is investigating a series of murders, where the victim has written a clue in their own blood as they died. However, the clues are not as straightforward, do not make sense, or, for humor, outright defy the trope. As a few examples out of the two versions of the skit that were performed, one victim has written what appears to be the name of the suspect, but when read in Kansai dialect in Kanji, it translates to "What the hell?!" Another one has written and drawn an apology notice for inconveniencing their friends and family (even with a bowing character), and as a final example, one drew the music staff and notes for the death theme from Super Mario Bros.. | |

In the Gold Box game Pool of Radiance, when you first arrive at Sokol Keep you can find an elf skeleton that has the word "Lux". This is the word to use to avoid battles with spectres, the leader of which is quite deadly. | |

This happens twice in The Famous Five. When George is kidnapped, she manages to write a very short message. In both cases, the others recognise George's handwriting, and the message only makes sense to the gypsy girl Jo. In Five Fall into Adventure, George writes "Red Tower" many times on the inside wall of a caravan. When the others find it, they assume it is a place, but Jo points out that it is the name of a villain. In Five Have Plenty of Fun, George writes a note saying "Gringo". Jo recognises the name, which they use to find George. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Cause and Effect", during the last time loop, the number 3 keeps popping up conspicuously. The crew figures out it was a clue they sent to themselves from the prior time loop but need to figure out what it means. three refers to the number of pips on Riker's rank insignia, meaning his suggestion to avoid the collision should be done. | |
