A useful example
A two-cell 6× cage contains 2 and 3 in a 1–4 puzzle. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Keep this in mind
A correct cage total does not permit duplicate digits in a row. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
