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