I cannot do this without guessing - is there a trick to it?

How far have you got? You can do the entire central '1 6' column pretty quickly after starting. Have you done that bit?
The whole puzzle can be done without guessing (or any complex cross-referencing either), just as the others also can. ;)

I got the first 20% or so very easily but then got stuck - I've tried a few times but always resort to guessing! I know that there is a logical way to solve this but just can't seem to find it...

Couldn't believe such a small puzzle could be so difficult

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
