#435 leaves 23 cells to fill from 13 givens. The top-left box is the emptiest, 5 blanks; the middle-right box is nearly done with 3. One cell is decided before you place anything: row 3, column 4.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Row 3, column 4 must be a 6: the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
After that, row 3, column 2 must be a 5: every other digit already sits in its row, its column or its box.
Hint 3: nearly there
From there, row 3, column 1 must be a 4: nothing else fits once you check the row, the column and the 2×3 box. Keep going box by box and the grid closes itself.
