First step - add in all possible valid pencilmarks. | |
For row 7, number 1 is only possible in cell (2,7) | ||
For row 5, number 1 is only possible in cell (8,5) | ||
For row 2, number 1 is only possible in cell (7,2) | ||
For row 4, number 1 is only possible in cell (3,4) | ||
For column 5, Number 4 is only possible in cell (5,5) | ||

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