Step-By-Step Solution:
Initial Grid | |
First step - add in all possible valid pencilmarks. | |
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (5,1). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (7,7). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (1,7). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (7,9). | ||
Candidates for 2 in boxes 2 and 8 force the candidates in box 5 to be in the remaining line. | ||
For row 5, number 2 is only possible in cell (9,5) | ||
For row 3, number 2 is only possible in cell (4,3) | ||
For box 2, Number 9 is only possible in cell (6,1) | ||
For row 1, number 8 is only possible in cell (1,1) | ||
For row 2, number 2 is only possible in cell (7,2) | ||
For row 8, number 2 is only possible in cell (6,8) | ||
For column 6, Number 5 is only possible in cell (6,4) | ||
For box 6, candidates for 8 are all in row 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 3, candidates for 6 are all in column 8, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Candidates for 3 in boxes 1 and 7 force the candidates in box 4 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Naked Pair for 6 and 7, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Naked Pair for 1 and 6, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (2,2). | ||
For row 2, number 1 is only possible in cell (3,2) | ||

Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (6,7). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (5,9). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (2,9). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (2,3). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (3,3). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (3,4). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (5,4). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (8,4). | ||
