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