R2C7 - removing <1> from <137> leaving <37>

R3C7 - removing <6> from <367> leaving <37>

Intersection of row 1 with block 1. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R1C2 and R1C3 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R2C1 - removing <3> from <1349> leaving <149>

R2C3 - removing <3> from <1379> leaving <179>

R3C2 - removing <3> from <3489> leaving <489>

R3C3 - removing <3> from <3789> leaving <789>

R1C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <3>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R1C8, R2C8 and R3C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C9 - removing <4> from <124> leaving <12>

R2C9 - removing <4> from <149> leaving <19>

R3C9 - removing <4> from <469> leaving <69>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C9, R2C9 and R3C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C8 - removing <9> from <469> leaving <46>

Intersection of block 4 with column 2. The values <15> only appears in one or more of squares R4C2, R5C2 and R6C2 of block 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 2 cannot contain these values.

R1C2 - removing <1> from <14> leaving <4>

R7C2 - removing <1> from <1368> leaving <368>
