  3. Turn Notes on to record candidate symbols without committing an answer.

On one puzzle in this collection, row 1, column 1 has 1 in its solution. Read the clues on your current board before using that value; another puzzle can need a different entry. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Where a round can go wrong
