How this board opens
A first sweep of the overlap rule down the rows and across the columns settles 75 of the 225 cells, about 33%, which is enough of a skeleton to work outwards from. The most generous opening is row 7, which gives up 15 cells on its own. 3 of the 30 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 81 cells, and the longest unbroken run anywhere in the clues is 7.
About this category
This is the vocabulary of a game interface rather than the furniture of a fantasy novel: breastplates and shoulder guards, a dagger and a combat knife, a wand with an orb at its tip, a potion, a trebuchet, a troll, a spider, and the small abstract badges a game uses to tell you that something has happened — an achievement rank, a skull counting kills, a stack of gold. Some of it is medieval and some of it is modern, because the icon sets these come from cover whatever a game might need to put in a corner of the screen.
