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

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