R5C5 can only be <3>

R3C3 is the only square in row 3 that can be <6>

R6C7 is the only square in row 6 that can be <8>

R6C1 is the only square in row 6 that can be <3>

R9C5 is the only square in row 9 that can be <6>

R7C7 is the only square in row 7 that can be <6>

R2C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <9>

R7C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <9>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <9>

R1C8 is the only square in row 1 that can be <9>

R3C2 is the only square in row 3 that can be <9>

R5C7 is the only square in row 5 that can be <9>

Squares R6C4 and R9C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <17>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R7C4 - removing <17> from <1347> leaving <34>

R8C4 - removing <17> from <1347> leaving <34>

Squares R7C4 and R8C4 in block 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <34>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C6 - removing <34> from <13478> leaving <178>

Intersection of row 9 with block 7. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R9C1, R9C2 and R9C3 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C2 - removing <2> from <2347> leaving <347>

R8C3 - removing <2> from <12457> leaving <1457>

Intersection of column 1 with block 7. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R8C1 and R9C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C3 - removing <1> from <1457> leaving <457>

Intersection of column 2 with block 7. The values <37> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain these values.

R7C1 - removing <7> from <1457> leaving <145>

R8C3 - removing <7> from <457> leaving <45>

R9C1 - removing <7> from <127> leaving <12>

Intersection of column 3 with block 4. The values <17> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R5C1 - removing <7> from <247> leaving <24>

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 <478> leaving <78>

R3C9 - removing <4> from <13478> leaving <1378>

Squares R2C1<2458>, R2C2<24>, R2C3<245> and R2C8<248> in row 2 form a comprehensive naked quad. These 4 squares can only contain the 4 possibilities <2458>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C6 - removing <48> from <1348> leaving <13>

R2C7 - removing <2> from <123> leaving <13>

Squares R7C4, R8C4, R7C2 and R8C2 form a Type-2 Unique Rectangle on <34>.

R9C2 - removing <7> from <27> leaving <2>

R9C1 can only be <1>

R2C2 can only be <4>

R9C4 can only be <7>
