Hidden Single

Medium Used by Smart Hint

A digit guaranteed to appear somewhere in this run has only one cell left that can hold it.

7 16 7 9 7 9

How it works

  1. The 16-in-two across run must be {7, 9} — and 9 is guaranteed to appear somewhere in it.
  2. But the first cell also belongs to the 7-in-two down run, whose combinations (1+6, 2+5, 3+4) never contain a 9.
  3. The 9 has only one cell left that can hold it — the second one. Place it.
