Grid technique · Beginner
Category Completion Sweep
The moment one whole category is resolved, transposing every one of its facts into every other mini-grid before doing anything else.
Why it works
A completed category is a free source of transpositions. Sweeping it fully, all at once, is cheap and often resolves several other mini-grids in one pass.
Trigger
A category where every subject now has a confirmed item — the mini-grid built from it is full.
Common mistake
Moving straight to the next unread clue once a category completes, instead of spending one pass carrying its results everywhere they can go.
Example
Once every person has a confirmed job, sweep that fact into the house and pet mini-grids immediately, before reading another clue.
