First of all, take a close look at the number 7.

Then pay a good look at row 6. after that look at the number 1...

jflowers,

Yep, you have a handful of numbers to put in with the normal logic - only one place in row, column or square or the only number to fit in a particular cell.

After a little bit, this logic is insufficient to continue. Then (at least for me), you have to concentrate on one of the numbers in Column 1 and focus on its effect on Row 2.

Good luck.
