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