What this one asks of you - mild spoilers
- Last cell in a region. Every coloured region holds exactly one sentinel. A region down to a single open cell is solved.
- Line locked to a region. The mirror image: if every open cell of a row lies inside a single region, that region’s sentinel is that row’s sentinel, so the region’s cells outside the row can be crossed out.
- Neighbour squeeze. Sentinels never touch, even diagonally. When a row’s candidates are packed into a narrow band, any cell in the row above or below that would touch every one of those candidates can be crossed out.
- Last cell in a row. Every row holds exactly one sentinel. When a row has only one cell left that is not crossed out, that cell must be the sentinel.
Every one of these is explained properly in the Sentinels guide.
