LEVEL 10

Genius Review

Combine techniques and explain every elimination before committing it.

How to find it

  1. Scan for simple moves first.
  2. Prioritise strong links and constrained digits.
  3. Name and verify the pattern before removing a candidate.

Logical demonstration

The violet cells represent the pattern; the gold cell represents the resulting placement or elimination. Verify every highlighted candidate belongs to the required houses before acting.

Common mistakes

  • Using cells that do not share the required row, column, box or peer relationship.
  • Removing a candidate before confirming every occurrence in the pattern.
  • Confusing a possible pattern with a completed logical proof.

Practise the technique

Open a real puzzle, keep candidate notes accurate and ask Genius Coach to identify the next supported logical move.
