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