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