From the given conditions, it is clear that the first digit must be 1 or higher & the last digit must be 9 or lower.
Now imagine we have 8 balls each labelled with
+
1
sign.
Finally, imagine each number to be a divider

We have to distribute those 8 balls into the spaces between the dividers. This will tell us how much to add to the prior digit to get the next digit..
But first we have to put a
+
1
ball under each of the
<
signs, because the difference between those numbers has to be at least 1.

That leaves 5 balls we need to place between the 6 dividers.
