LEVEL 5

Hidden Triple

Three digits are confined to the same three cells of a house.

How to find it

  1. Track three missing digits across one house.
  2. Confirm they appear only in the same three cells.
  3. Remove unrelated candidates from those cells.

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.
