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