Common Pitfalls: Why Many Miss the Targets

• Glancing Only Once: A single, hurried sweep of the grid almost always misses the subtle changes.
• Scanning Row by Row Too Quickly: Racing through rows without pausing at each column can mean you skip the disguised emojis.
• Focusing Only on One Feature: If you look only at the lock’s body or only at the shackle, you risk overlooking modifications in the other part.

To avoid these traps, take your time, move methodically through the grid, and examine both the lock’s body and its shackle in every cell.

Step-by-Step Solution: Locating the Disguised Emojis

Follow these steps to find the hidden emojis:

• Divide the Grid Mentally: Break the large field into smaller blocks—e.g., check four rows at a time.
• Inspect the Shackle Shape: In disguise, the shackle might be broken, bent, or missing its usual curve.
• Examine the Lock Body: Look for tiny irregularities—like a missing keyhole or a different color pixel.
• Mark Your Finds: As you spot an odd padlock, note its position (row and column) so you don’t double-count.

Using this careful approach, you’ll discover the disguised emojis in these exact rows:

• Row 2 (second from the top)
• Row 4
• Row 7
• Row 8
