These are the answers to the Puzzle Page Picture Sweep for September 1, 2023, puzzle ID 1663. The board below is the completed 12×12 grid exactly as it looks in the app once every square is filled , and this one carries the theme Ice Skater.

Picture Sweep is one of 20 puzzle types published in Puzzle Page, and this date carried 10 puzzles in total — you can see all of them on the September 1, 2023 page. To work through this game date by date, use the full Picture Sweep archive, or step back to August 31, 2023.

Because Picture Sweep is solved with digits rather than letters, the board above is the finished arrangement — every cell filled exactly as the app accepts it. Compare a single row or block against your own grid rather than copying the whole thing, and the rest usually falls into place from the constraints you already have.

Puzzle Page numbers each game separately, so the ID on this page belongs to Picture Sweep alone — a Sudoku published the same day carries a different one. If the grid here stops matching your screen the app has been updated; say so in the comments and it gets re-checked. Every grid on this site is captured from the finished puzzle rather than copied from another answers site.

Tips for Puzzle Page Picture Sweep

1
A number equal to its count of unknown neighbours means all of them are marked.
2
A number already satisfied means every remaining neighbour is safe.
3
Compare two adjacent numbers — the difference between them often settles a shared cell.
4
Corners and edges have fewer neighbours, so they resolve first.
5
A numbered cell whose count equals its unopened neighbours means every one of those neighbours is marked. That is the fastest rule on the board.
6
Compare two adjacent numbers. The difference between them often identifies exactly which shared cells are safe to open.
