Step-By-Step Solution:
Initial Grid | |
First step - add in all possible valid pencilmarks. | |
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (9,3). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (2,8). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (7,9). | ||
For row 5, number 9 is only possible in cell (7,5) | ||
For row 8, number 1 is only possible in cell (6,8) | ||
For box 9, Number 7 is only possible in cell (8,7) | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (5,7). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (6,7). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (7,7). | ||
For row 1, number 3 is only possible in cell (3,1) | ||
For row 6, number 3 is only possible in cell (2,6) | ||
For row 5, number 3 is only possible in cell (4,5) | ||
For row 3, number 4 is only possible in cell (3,3) | ||
For row 6, number 4 is only possible in cell (5,6) | ||
For box 5, candidates for 1 are all in row 4, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Candidates for 5 in boxes 1 and 3 force the candidates in box 2 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Hidden Pair for 4 and 6, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
Either candidate for cell (7,4) forces 1 into cell (4,4). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (4,2). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (4,3). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (5,3). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (4,9). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (5,9). | ||
For row 3, number 9 is only possible in cell (2,3) | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (2,7). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (1,7). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (3,7). | ||
For row 2, number 1 is only possible in cell (8,2) | ||
For row 5, number 1 is only possible in cell (3,5) | ||
For row 6, number 1 is only possible in cell (7,6) | ||
Either candidate for cell (9,6) forces 8 into cell (5,4). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (5,1). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (6,1). | ||
For row 5, number 8 is only possible in cell (1,5) | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (1,2). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (2,2). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (3,2). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (1,4). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (8,4). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (2,5). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (9,5). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (6,5). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (8,5). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (6,6). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (9,6). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (7,4). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (7,3). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (8,3). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (3,4). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (3,6). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (7,8). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (8,8). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (9,8). |
