[QUOTE="busywend, post: 58563, member: 391"] Daisy, I do mine in pencil, too. There are few ways to approach the puzzle. I first look at the first 3 long rows (3 entire boxes of 9) and scan for 2 numbers. For example, if there is a 6 in the first box (of 9) in the first column and a 6 in the second box (of 9) in the third column, the 3rd box (of 9) must need a 9 in the second column. Now I need to know which row it goes in. Then I look at the rows of 9 that are intersecting with that second box (of 9). If there is a 9 in any of those rows, that row is eliminated from getting a 9 in my second box (of 9). It is tough to explain it typing. Edit: I am sure Marg did a better explanation in the other thread - which I just saw! LOL! [/QUOTE]
