Some Common Strategies
Go through each line in the puzzle from left to right and right to left, looking for the number sequence's first number. When found, look at the surrounding numbers to see if the second number of the sequence is present. If so, see if the following number in the same direction matches the third number.
Look for number sequences that contain two repeating numbers, such as 00 or 11, as these are also easiest to locate.
