I really struggle with these. There must be a trick I don't know!

For me, its mainly knowing the various numbers that have only one or two possible combinations and knowing those combinations off by heart. I can then instantly see that when two of those combos cross each other they only share one or two numbers in common etc.

I don't find these easy either, Penelope, and I think I follow the suggestions made by LilSquiggle as I expect you do too. After that what next? There is nearly always a jumble of other numbers to contend with, so I often have to resort to "try and see" otherwise it is all too much like hard work:)

I usually get bored trying all the possible combinations and just give up.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
