An Easy 6×6 Puzzle Solved with Paired Regions in 8 Steps

This 6×6 board rates as easy (difficulty score 638). Solving it from scratch takes 8 logical steps, using 5 techniques: Single cell, Row/column exclusion, Adjacency clear, Region confinement, Paired regions. Every step below is forced: nothing here is a guess.

1. First, every open cell left in this region sits in row 1, so its marker has to land there; that clears every other open cell in the row.
2. Next, together, two regions have open cells only in rows 2 and 3; with one marker each, those two markers have to fill exactly those two rows, so every other region's open cells there can be cleared.
3. Then, place a marker at F4. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 4, column F, and its region. Placing here also clears its 1 touching neighbour.
4. After that, place a marker at E6. Column 5 has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 6, column E, and its region.
5. Now, place a marker at D2. Column 4 has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 2, column D, and its region. Placing here also clears its 1 touching neighbour.
6. From there, place a marker at B1. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 1, column B, and its region.
7. Following that, place a marker at A3. Region has exactly one open cell left. Placing here clears the rest of row 3, column A, and its region.
8. Finally, place a marker at C5. Region has exactly one open cell left.

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