LEVEL 6

Two-String Kite

A row strong link and column strong link connect through one box.

How to find it

  1. Find a two-candidate row and a two-candidate column.
  2. Connect one endpoint of each inside the same box.
  3. Eliminate the candidate from the cell seeing both outer endpoints.

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.
