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

Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (9,4). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (1,6). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (8,6). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (8,3). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (8,5). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (7,5). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (8,8). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (9,8). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (9,1). | ||

Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (6,7). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (6,3). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (7,3). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (7,1). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (1,1). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (4,1). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (1,2). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (4,8). | ||
