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