Grid technique · Beginner

True Transposition

Carrying a confirmed fact from one mini-grid into another that shares a category with it.

Why it works

If Mina is the baker, and Mina is also confirmed in the red house, then the baker is in the red house too — the same subject, described three different ways.

Trigger

Two confirmed yes-marks that share a subject, in two different mini-grids.

Common mistake

Solving one mini-grid to completion and treating it as finished, instead of carrying its true marks sideways into the mini-grids that share a category with it.

Example

Mina is the baker, and Mina is in the red house. Transposing gives baker/red house directly, with no clue ever connecting job to house.
