- Step 1: Fill the region with the most given digits first.
- Step 2: Each 2×3 box, row and column holds 1–6 once — scan for the digit missing from two of the three.
- Step 3: Use pairs: two cells that can only hold the same two digits block those digits elsewhere.
- Step 4: The last box completes itself once its row and column partners are done.
Logic puzzles never need a guess — if you're guessing, there's a deduction you haven't seen yet.
