For row 9, number 8 is only possible in cell (9,9) | ||
For row 9, number 4 is only possible in cell (7,9) | ||
For row 8, number 6 is only possible in cell (5,8) | ||
For box 8, candidates for 3 are all in column 4, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 2, candidates for 1 are all in row 2, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 9, candidates for 1 are all in row 8, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 3, candidates for 5 are all in row 1, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 5, candidates for 5 are all in row 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Hidden Pair for 5 and 9, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
Hidden Triple for 1, 3 and 7, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
Candidates for 2 in boxes 1 and 7 force the candidates in box 4 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Candidates for 2 in boxes 4 and 5 force the candidates in box 6 to be in the remaining line. | ||
