- Start with the cross-hatching technique. Fill in the most obvious cells with larger numbers.
- Identify additional blocks (outlined with dashed lines) that contain 1 or 2 empty cells. Sum up the known numbers in this block and subtract from the number in the top-left corner to find the sum of the numbers remaining empty in this block.
- Find cells at the intersection of rows and columns with the highest number of known numbers. These cells usually contain only 1 or 2 candidates, making it easy to fill in with a larger number.
