Copies of the four grids must be assembled as shown in the diagram below the grids to form an infinite grid. For each answer space with multiple associated answers, the solver must deduce which one to enter based on the crossings. The upper left of the resulting grid is shown below; beyond this, the cyan grids repeat in a horizontal cycle of length 5, the lavender-blue grids repeat in a vertical cycle of length 3, and the yellow grids do both.
