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