Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (9,1). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (9,3). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (8,3). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (9,6). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (2,6). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (9,7). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (7,8). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (8,8). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (1,8). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (7,9). | ||
For row 9, number 9 is only possible in cell (1,9) | ||
For row 7, number 9 is only possible in cell (5,7) | ||
For row 7, number 3 is only possible in cell (3,7) | ||
For column 1, Number 2 is only possible in cell (1,4) | ||
For row 3, number 4 is only possible in cell (2,3) | ||
For row 5, number 4 is only possible in cell (7,5) | ||
For row 9, number 4 is only possible in cell (4,9) | ||

Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (7,6). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (4,6). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (7,7). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (8,7). | ||
For row 5, number 5 is only possible in cell (6,5) | ||
For box 8, candidates for 7 are all in column 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Either candidate for cell (6,1) forces 7 into cell (7,1). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (7,3). | ||
Either candidate for cell (1,1) forces 6 into cell (3,3). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (3,9). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (3,4). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (6,4). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (6,1). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (1,1). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (4,1). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (1,3). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (5,3). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (4,3). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (4,4). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (2,5). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (5,5). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (1,7). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (2,7). | ||
