For row 8, number 3 is only possible in cell (5,8) | ||
For row 5, number 4 is only possible in cell (1,5) | ||
For column 3, Number 4 is only possible in cell (3,8) | ||
For row 8, number 1 is only possible in cell (2,8) | ||
For box 4, Number 1 is only possible in cell (1,6) | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (4,6). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (9,6). | ||
For row 5, number 5 is only possible in cell (2,5) | ||
Candidates for 1 in boxes 1 and 3 force the candidates in box 2 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Hidden Pair for 1 and 7, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
For column 6, Number 9 is only possible in cell (6,3) | ||
For box 2, candidates for 5 are all in column 4, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 2, candidates for 8 are all in column 5, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Candidates for 5 in boxes 1 and 2 force the candidates in box 3 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (8,3). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (8,5). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (9,5). | ||
For row 8, number 8 is only possible in cell (6,8) | ||
For row 9, number 8 is only possible in cell (9,9) | ||
Hidden Pair for 2 and 4, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
X-Wing in rows for 4. (X-Wings) | ||
Either candidate for cell (2,9) forces 9 into cell (2,2). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (1,1). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (5,1). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (4,1). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (3,1). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (9,1). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (8,1). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (8,2). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (7,2). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (5,2). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (3,3). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (4,3). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (9,3). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (1,4). | ||
Number 8 is the only value possible in cell (2,4). | ||
Number 2 is the only value possible in cell (4,7). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (2,7). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (8,7). | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (6,7). | ||
Number 3 is the only value possible in cell (7,7). | ||
Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (1,7). | ||
Number 4 is the only value possible in cell (9,7). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (8,8). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (4,8). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (4,2). | ||
Number 7 is the only value possible in cell (6,2). | ||
Number 6 is the only value possible in cell (4,5). | ||
