An Easy 10×10 Puzzle Solved with Line Confinement in 14 Steps

This 10×10 board rates as easy (difficulty score 564). Solving it from scratch takes 14 logical steps, using 5 techniques: Single cell, Row/column exclusion, Adjacency clear, Region confinement, Line confinement. Every step below is forced: nothing here is a guess.

1. First, every open cell left in this region sits in row 6, so its marker has to land there; that clears every other open cell in the row.
2. Next, place a marker at C5. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 5, column C, and its region. Placing here also clears its 3 touching neighbours.
3. Then, place a marker at B3. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 3, column B, and its region. Placing here also clears its 2 touching neighbours.
4. After that, place a marker at A1. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 1, column A, and its region.
5. Now, place a marker at D7. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 7, column D, and its region. Placing here also clears its 2 touching neighbours.
6. From there, every open cell left in this region sits in column J, so its marker has to land there; that clears every other open cell in the column.
7. Following that, every open cell in row 10 belongs to the same region, so that region's marker has to be somewhere in this row; that clears every other open cell in the region.
8. First, every open cell in row 9 belongs to the same region, so that region's marker has to be somewhere in this row; that clears every other open cell in the region.
9. Next, place a marker at I8. Row 8 has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 8, column I, and its region. Placing here also clears its 1 touching neighbour.
10. Then, place a marker at F9. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 9, column F, and its region. Placing here also clears its 2 touching neighbours.
11. After that, place a marker at H10. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 10, column H, and its region.
12. Now, place a marker at G6. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 6, column G, and its region.
13. From there, place a marker at E2. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 2, column E, and its region.
14. Finally, place a marker at J4. Region has exactly one open cell left.

The key move here was Line confinement. Once you can spot that, this board falls quickly. ∎
