How to use this in play
A 2-cell killer cage of 17 is fully locked: the only way to make 17 from 2 distinct digits is {8, 9}. Whatever order they sit in, those digits are the cage's contents — every one of them eliminates from every cell of the cage's row, column, and box that lies outside the cage.
Locked digits: 8, 9. Whichever combination is in play, these digits sit somewhere inside the cage — meaning the cage's shared row, column, and box can't have any of them anywhere outside the cage.
