By the time I had Uptown filled out I had over 20 extra 1×1 pieces from the above method working so well at finding them. I do the 9 inner squares and then the left wall and across the top while leaving the bottom and right & that gets the 1×1 pieces most of the time. I do not think the 1×1 are randomly distributed though.Even if you add the 5 bonus digs to the initial 15 that means 20 digs out of 25, so you’ll end up missing the 1×1 pieces around 20% of the time if they are randomly distributed.In the last 2 divisions there are many 1×1 pieces which are difficult to find & finding them is luck of the draw since you can’t find a part of them & then use that to find the rest of it.Things like the rounded flip part of a piece, a flat surface, or a curve (along with the general piece shape) help you quickly figure where the rest of the piece might be. You can use the layout of the piece to help you guess where the rest of it is.Initially the piece types in a section are hidden, but after you uncover them in one dig it will show what pieces are hidden in future digs.As soon as I find a piece using that I try to uncover the rest of that piece to help me learn the layout of the rest of the board.I like to dig the spots diagonally inward from the corners to start, as that helps you break up the field & spot many LEGO pieces quickly while spending a maximum of 4 of your 15 digs.
