Safe toys and fair board games, sentence 18

A good way to do a jigsaw is to find the edges and corners first, because edge pieces have a straight side and make a frame, then group pieces by colour.

Who acts: good way, edge pieces · What happens: do, be, have, make, group · To what, where: jigsaw, straight side, frame, pieces

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
