For box 2, candidates for 7 are all in row 2, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 8, candidates for 9 are all in column 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 8, candidates for 2 are all in column 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 2, candidates for 2 are all in row 2, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 5, candidates for 2 are all in row 5, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Candidates for 9 in boxes 1 and 7 force the candidates in box 4 to be in the remaining line. | ||
