I start with 1's and then 2's and then 3's, etc. Eventually, you'll find them all. Just a good way for me to start.
Wait, you start by trying to find anywhere you can place a 1, then once you've got those you move to 2's and so on and so forth? Like... Just looking at the whole board? You don't break it down and work by sections?
