Indirect Naked Single

An indirect naked single is a technique where you first fill in the candidates on the grid, and then inspect the candidates in each empty cell one by one. If a cell has only one candidate left, then that cell must contain that digit.

For example, in the grid below, cell R4C6 has only one candidate, 2, so R4C6 must be filled with 2.
