Whenever a Detective you control enters or is turned face up, put a +1/+1 counter on it. To solve — You control three or more Detectives. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.) Solved — If one or more tokens would be created under your control, those tokens plus a Clue token are created instead. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

"To solve" abilities will check for their condition twice: once when the ability would trigger, and once when it resolves. If the condition isn't true at the beginning of your end step, the ability won't trigger at all. If the condition isn't true when the ability resolves, the Case won't become solved.

If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.

"Solved — [Triggered ability]" means "[Triggered ability]. This ability triggers only if this Case is solved." Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]."
