About this puzzle
Sheet #5 starts with 30 givens. Our solver completes it in 51 forced placements, 100% of them singles. Hardest step: Single candidate.
Singles carry this grid all the way — no pairs, no patterns.
The givens are spread unevenly: box 1 holds 4 of them, box 3 only 2 (boxes are counted left to right, top to bottom).
Digit 3 is given most often, 4 times; digit 9 only 2 times.
Where to start
At least once you will need to look at a single cell and rule out eight digits. Notes make that spot obvious.
