That was pretty tough for an easy. The thing that stumped me here – and my Achilles' heel, for some reason – is noticing when a square can have just a single value when I'm not using greens and trying to do everything in my head (with greens it's usually rather easy to spot them). If I could consistently see those hidden singletons I'd consider myself good.

I check for loners by reciting the missing digits from a consistuancy -- say {3,5,7,9}. Then I check each of those four empty cells for intersections with three of those. At the same time I can see a line crosshatch. Usually four empty cells is enough, sometimes five, though with five or six I often just check each empty cell for eight digit interceptions.
