Hidden Single

Find the only home for a digit in one unit.

What to look for

A digit that can appear in only one cell of a row, column, or 3×3 box, even when that cell has other candidates.

Why it works

Every digit must appear exactly once in each unit. If only one cell can contain it, that cell must take the digit.
