For column 1, Number 4 is only possible in cell (1,3) | ||
For row 3, number 2 is only possible in cell (9,3) | ||
For row 4, number 2 is only possible in cell (5,4) | ||
For row 3, number 5 is only possible in cell (7,3) | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (7,8). | ||
For box 3, Number 1 is only possible in cell (8,3) | ||
For row 1, number 8 is only possible in cell (4,1) | ||
For column 7, Number 8 is only possible in cell (7,5) | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (5,5). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (1,5). | ||
For row 4, number 1 is only possible in cell (9,4) | ||
For row 5, number 4 is only possible in cell (9,5) | ||
For row 9, number 4 is only possible in cell (6,9) | ||
For box 1, candidates for 3 are all in column 2, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For blocks 5 and 6, candidates for 9 are all in the same two rows (4 and 6) | ||
Either candidate for cell (1,4) forces 1 into cell (5,7). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (5,9). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (5,6). | ||
Either candidate for cell (8,8) forces 1 into cell (3,9). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (3,2). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (4,2). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (2,2). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (3,3). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (2,3). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (4,3). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (3,5). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (2,5). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (2,9). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (2,6). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (1,4). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (8,4). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (8,1). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (7,1). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (6,4). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (6,6). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (9,6). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (2,7). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (7,7). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (8,7). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (3,7). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (6,7). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (1,7). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (9,7). | ||
