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