How this board opens
The overlap rule is stingy here: one sweep of it across every row and column yields 60 of the 400 cells, 15%, so most of this board has to be argued for rather than read off. The most generous opening is row 8, which gives up 13 cells on its own. Straight line logic carries it to 392 cells and then stalls, so the last 8 need cross-referencing between a row and a column that share a cell. The finished picture fills 179 cells, and the longest unbroken run anywhere in the clues is 13.
About this category
Hats and masks make an unusually top-heavy category: of its fifteen puzzles, nine are full 20×20 boards and another five sit at 15×15, leaving a single 10×10 as the only real warm-up. Proportionally that makes hats & masks the most 20×20-heavy set on the whole site — if you specifically want the big grids, there's a higher concentration of them here than anywhere else, the larger food & drink category included.
