Naked Pair for 2 and 8, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Hidden Pair for 6 and 9, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
For box 5, candidates for 1 are all in column 4, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 5, candidates for 4 are all in row 4, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Hidden Pair for 3 and 5, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
