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