R3C1 is the only square in row 3 that can be <6>

R4C6 is the only square in row 4 that can be <5>

R5C1 is the only square in row 5 that can be <3>

R5C2 is the only square in row 5 that can be <4>

R7C2 is the only square in row 7 that can be <5>

R2C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <5>

R1C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <9>

R4C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <9>

R9C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <9>

R2C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <9>

Squares R2C2 and R3C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <27>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C2 - removing <27> from <1278> leaving <18>

R9C2 - removing <7> from <178> leaving <18>

Squares R5C8 and R5C9 in block 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <89>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C7 - removing <8> from <1478> leaving <147>

R6C7 - removing <8> from <1478> leaving <147>

R6C8 - removing <8> from <1578> leaving <157>

R6C9 - removing <8> from <578> leaving <57>

Intersection of row 4 with block 4. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R4C2 and R4C3 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C3 - removing <2> from <127> leaving <17>

Squares R6C3 and R7C3 in column 3 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.

R4C3 - removing <17> from <127> leaving <2>

R8C3 - removing <17> from <12367> leaving <236>

R9C3 - removing <17> from <1367> leaving <36>

R8C1 is the only square in row 8 that can be <2>

Intersection of row 6 with block 5. The values <238> 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 these values.

R4C5 - removing <8> from <48> leaving <4>

R6C7 is the only square in row 6 that can be <4>

R8C4 is the only square in row 8 that can be <4>

R2C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <1>

R8C5 is the only square in block 8 that can be <7>

R8C9 can only be <8>

R5C9 can only be <9>

R5C8 can only be <8>

R7C9 can only be <7>
