Solved is a special keyword ability that can be found on Cases. Cases were introduced in Murders at Karlov Manor.

Description

The meaning of "solved" differs based on what type of ability follows it.[1]

Once a Case becomes solved, it stays solved until it leaves the battlefield. As long as it's solved, its "to solve" ability won't trigger again. A Case remains solved even if another player gains control of it. Cases don't lose their other abilities when they become solved.
