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