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