No, there's no black dot next to the 6 (top row) - so it's unique. At least that was the sqare where I had to look twice...

What clue am I missing that the two remaining digits will fit only in one unique position?

Thanks.

I don't know which final two you have arrived at, vsrawat, but perhaps one of them is double/half an adjacent digit or consecutive with it?? If by any chance they are 7 and 9 in bottom row 7 cannot be next to 6!

Vrsawat, the 3 can't go next to the 6 since then it would need a black dot between them.

And that's exactly what I tried to explain in my first comment here. But that was before the screenshot was published.
Sorry that my explanation was not understandable.

Thanks gareth, that explains it.

Your guideline also says "if there is no circle between two touching squares then they are not consecutive and one is not double the value of the other"

Thanks.

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'.
