it gets a bit harder here. Let's look at the highlighted squares. The only 2 numbers they can be are 7 and 9. Now if the 9 was in the top square row 3 has to add up to 18. With the 9 and the 3 the remaining 3 squares would have to total 6 of which the only combo is 1, 2 and 3. However the row already has a 3 making that impossible. Therefore we can work out the 7 has to go in the top square with the 9 below it. Phew!
