Find a place for a big item in a grid bag, turning it if needed

In a bag made of little squares a long sword needs a long free strip, and the game says no even though the space exists, just turned the other way. This entry searches the grid for a spot and tries the turned item too, so the bag feels fair.

Why this works

A bag feels fair when the game says no only if there is really no way. Trying the item upright first, then turned, and always searching in the same order, gives a place whenever one exists and keeps results predictable.

When not to use it

Do not use a grid when items are many and small, or when players use a controller and sort constantly. Dragging pieces around becomes a chore. A plain list with stacks is quicker and needs no puzzle.
