How this board opens

This one opens itself. One sweep of the overlap rule — every row read against its clue lengths, then every column — is worth 25 of the 25 cells, 100% of the board, before you have deduced anything of your own. The most generous opening is row 3, which gives up 5 cells on its own. 3 of the 10 lines are decided outright by their clues, with no room to slide. From there the board finishes on row-and-column logic alone — there is no point where you have to try a cell both ways and see which one breaks. The finished picture fills 13 cells, and one run in the clues is 5 long — near enough the full span of a line that it fixes itself the moment you reach it.

About this category

Mugs, umbrellas, light bulbs, scissors — everyday objects has the most varied dimensions of any category on the site: eight distinct grid shapes, from a 5×5 and the catalog's only 5×15 board right up to 15×20 and 20×20. Nothing else here covers that much ground, which makes it the natural category to browse when you want a particular size rather than a particular theme.
