tikz grid without top edge
4
In this code from TikZ (finite) grid with character in each cell
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{matrix}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[step=0.5cm,color=gray] (-1,-1) grid (1,1);
matrix[matrix of nodes,nodes={inner sep=0pt,text width=.5cm,align=center,minimum height=.5cm}]{
A & B & C & D \
E & F & & H \
I & J & K & L \
M & N & O & P\};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
I would like to delete the top and left edges of the grid.
I have found solutions using nodes but much prefer this one with a matrix.

We can use foreach:
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{matrix}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
%draw[step=0.5cm,color=gray] (-1,-1) grid (1,1);
foreach i in {-0.5,0,0.5,1} {
draw[gray] (-1,-i)--(1,-i);
draw[gray] (i,-1)--(i,1);
}
matrix[matrix of nodes,nodes={inner sep=0pt,text width=.5cm,align=center,minimum height=.5cm}]{
A & B & C & D \
E & F & & H \
I & J & K & L \
M & N & O & P\};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Honestly I don't think nodes or matrices have any thing to do here.
This approach is based on marmot's creative way, which is nicer and more tricky:
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{matrix}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[step=0.5cm,color=gray] ({-1cm+0.2pt},-1) grid (1cm,{1cm-0.2pt});
matrix[matrix of nodes,nodes={inner sep=0pt,text width=.5cm,align=center,minimum height=.5cm}]{
A & B & C & D \
E & F & & H \
I & J & K & L \
M & N & O & P\};
end{tikzpicture}

Maybe mention alsodraw[step=0.5cm,color=gray] (-0.99,-1) grid (1,0.99);which is shorter and gives (for all practical purposes) the same output.

@marmot Ohh your way is wonderfully creative :)) I did not even think of that. However they are not mathematically correct.

@JouleV What do you mean by "not mathematically correct"? It is as correct as a truncated grid can be.

Another solution. It draws the grid with a matrix of drawn nodes. After that, left and top border are deleted with a white supperposed line.
documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{matrix}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
matrix[matrix of nodes,nodes={draw=gray, anchor=center, minimum size=.6cm}, column sep=-pgflinewidth, row sep=-pgflinewidth] (A) {
A & B & C & D \
E & F & & H \
I & J & K & L \
M & N & O & P\};
draw[white] ([xshift=.5pgflinewidth]A-4-1.south west)|-([yshift=-.5pgflinewidth]A-1-4.north east);
