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

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