Step-By-Step Solution:
Initial Grid | |
First step - add in all possible valid pencilmarks. | |
For row 3, number 8 is only possible in cell (8,3) | ||
For row 9, number 8 is only possible in cell (4,9) | ||
For column 9, Number 5 is only possible in cell (9,6) | ||
For row 9, number 6 is only possible in cell (2,9) | ||
For box 8, candidates for 5 are all in row 8, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For blocks 1 and 4, candidates for 4 are all in the same two columns (2 and 3) | ||
For row 8, number 4 is only possible in cell (8,8) | ||
For blocks 6 and 9, candidates for 2 are all in the same two columns (7 and 8) | ||
Naked Pair for 2 and 4, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
