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