R4C3 can only be <3>

R4C2 can only be <4>

R3C7 is the only square in row 3 that can be <4>

R4C6 is the only square in row 4 that can be <9>

R5C3 is the only square in row 5 that can be <5>

R8C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <6>

R1C7 is the only square in block 3 that can be <9>

R9C4 is the only square in block 8 that can be <5>

R7C6 is the only square in block 8 that can be <2>

Squares R9C5 and R9C9 in row 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <13>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R9C1 - removing <3> from <234> leaving <24>

R9C3 - removing <1> from <129> leaving <29>

R9C8 - removing <1> from <1249> leaving <249>

Squares R8C5 and R9C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <13>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C5 - removing <1> from <17> leaving <7>

R2C5 - removing <1> from <1478> leaving <478>

R5C5 - removing <3> from <3478> leaving <478>

Squares R3C4 and R4C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <18>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C4 - removing <8> from <278> leaving <27>

R6C4 - removing <1> from <127> leaving <27>

Intersection of row 1 with block 1. The value <2> 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 <2> from <23568> leaving <3568>

R2C2 - removing <2> from <1236> leaving <136>

R2C3 - removing <2> from <12678> leaving <1678>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The value <6> 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.

R2C8 - removing <6> from <1267> leaving <127>

Intersection of column 9 with block 9. The values <38> only appears in one or more of squares R7C9, R8C9 and R9C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain these values.

R7C7 - removing <38> from <1378> leaving <17>

R8C7 - removing <38> from <12358> leaving <125>

Squares R7C7 and R7C8 in row 7 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 row.

R7C3 - removing <1> from <168> leaving <68>

R7C9 - removing <17> from <1378> leaving <38>

Squares R7C7 and R7C8 in block 9 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 block.

R8C7 - removing <1> from <125> leaving <25>

R8C8 - removing <1> from <1249> leaving <249>

R8C9 - removing <1> from <1358> leaving <358>
