Squares R2C7 and R2C9 in row 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <25>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C1 - removing <5> from <358> leaving <38>

R2C5 - removing <5> from <358> leaving <38>

Squares R2C7 and R2C9 in block 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <25>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R1C9 - removing <5> from <459> leaving <49>

R3C7 - removing <5> from <569> leaving <69>

R3C9 - removing <5> from <4569> leaving <469>

Intersection of row 4 with block 6. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R6C9 - removing <5> from <359> leaving <39>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R5C1, R5C2 and R5C3 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C1 - removing <8> from <12589> leaving <1259>

R6C2 - removing <8> from <1258> leaving <125>

R6C3 - removing <8> from <589> leaving <59>

Intersection of column 5 with block 2. The values <14> only appears in one or more of squares R1C5, R2C5 and R3C5 of column 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain these values.

R3C6 - removing <1> from <18> leaving <8>
