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