Your turn first

Spot the idea before the hint explains it

Look at the marked starting cell, cage outline and sum. Which digit or combination is forced, and what visible sum fact supports your idea?

After every digit you place, glance at its cage. If only one empty cell remains, subtract the placed digits from the cage sum and write the result.

Medium grids are where this move starts to matter: the obvious cells run out and the pattern takes over.

Type the position into the solver and it walks the whole solution, naming the technique behind every step — including this one.
