A closer look at one example

If the values strictly between 1 and 9 are 2, 4 and 7, the sandwich clue is 13. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

A full board must obey every extra rule. Reveal supplies assistance; it is not an earned deduction. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
