I see in the right center section that you have two blocks that only have 6 and 8 allowed. Which means that none of the other blocks in that section can have a 6 or an 8.

I was thinking about using that strategy but I wasn't sure if it was viable. So that would leave that left cell as only a 1?

Yep, and the one to the right of the 5 would be 3.

Thank you for confirming my strategy. I thought that it was a matter of trial and error doing that at first.

FYI, this method was wrong. It did not match up to the answers at all.

Wait really? I’ve been using this way to rule out stuff for a while. Sorry I led you down the wrong path!

Apparently this puzzle can have eight different solutions according to a solver website I used, so it may not be your fault. If you want another go at it, I have another puzzle you can try it out on.
