R6C1 is the only square in row 6 that can be <5>

R3C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <5>

R7C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <5>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The values <45> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain these values.

R1C4 - removing <4> from <1478> leaving <178>

R1C5 - removing <4> from <12478> leaving <1278>

R3C4 - removing <4> from <134789> leaving <13789>

R3C5 - removing <4> from <1234789> leaving <123789>

R3C6 - removing <4> from <23479> leaving <2379>

Intersection of row 6 with block 5. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R6C4, R6C5 and R6C6 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R4C4 - removing <3> from <379> leaving <79>

R4C5 - removing <3> from <2379> leaving <279>

R5C5 - removing <3> from <23479> leaving <2479>

Intersection of column 6 with block 2. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C6, R2C6 and R3C6 of column 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C5 - removing <2> from <1278> leaving <178>

R2C5 - removing <2> from <2458> leaving <458>

R3C5 - removing <2> from <123789> leaving <13789>

Squares R2C9<26>, R3C9<126> and R9C9<16> in column 9 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <126>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C9 - removing <26> from <2367> leaving <37>

R5C9 - removing <26> from <2367> leaving <37>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The value <2> 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.

R1C7 - removing <2> from <1248> leaving <148>
