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