Today's grid, titled "Offsets II", gives you 14 digits up front. Start with the 4: it is the most common given (4 of them) and has the fewest places left to go. You get four 4s, three 2s, three 3s, two 1s, one 5 and one 6. One cell is decided before you place anything: row 2, column 3.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Row 2, column 3 can only take a 6, because nothing else fits once you check the row, the column and the 2×3 box.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Next, row 2, column 2 must be a 5: the other five digits are all taken in that row, column or box.
Hint 3: nearly there
Third, row 2, column 1 can only take a 4, because every other digit already sits in its row, its column or its box. From there the rest falls into place.
