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