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