'''BUG Lite''' is a [[solving technique]] that fills the gap between [[Uniqueness Test]] and [[Bivalue Universal Grave|BUG]]. It deals with isolated [[deadly pattern]]s which are not [[Unique Rectangle]]s. The logic is similar to Uniqueness Test.

The fundamental assumption on which this technique is based--that the [[Sudoku]] has only one solution--is a subject of debate. See [[Uniqueness Controversy]].

Unlike the full '''BUG''', BUG Lite can be used as an isolated pattern.

Here is an example BUG Lite:

The candidates marked in red form a deadly pattern, so one of the two green candidates must be true. Furthermore, since digit '''6''' is locked in the intersection of column 1 and box 7, we can eliminate digit '''9''' from those cells.
