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