R8C4 is the only square in row 8 that can be <7>

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

R9C7 is the only square in row 9 that can be <4>

R4C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <2>

Squares R5C1 and R6C1 in block 4 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.

R6C2 - removing <2> from <234> leaving <34>

Squares R6C2 and R6C3 in row 6 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 row.

R6C5 - removing <3> from <12356> leaving <1256>

R6C7 - removing <3> from <136> leaving <16>

R6C9 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

Intersection of row 5 with block 5. The values <36> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of row 5. 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 <3> from <135> leaving <15>

R6C5 - removing <6> from <1256> leaving <125>

Intersection of column 4 with block 2. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R2C4 and R3C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C6 - removing <1> from <123> leaving <23>

R2C5 - removing <1> from <136> leaving <36>

R3C6 - removing <1> from <12356> leaving <2356>

R1C3 is the only square in row 1 that can be <1>

R8C6 is the only square in column 6 that can be <1>

R8C8 is the only square in row 8 that can be <8>

R7C6 is the only square in row 7 that can be <8>

Squares R2C5 and R8C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <36>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C5 - removing <36> from <2356> leaving <25>

Squares R5C1 and R5C5 in row 5 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.

R5C4 - removing <25> from <2356> leaving <36>

R5C6 - removing <25> from <2356> leaving <36>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <1> 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.

R3C7 - removing <1> from <136> leaving <36>

Squares R5C1, R5C5, R6C1 and R6C5 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <25>.
