R5C3 can only be <6>

R5C5 can only be <5>

R3C5 is the only square in row 3 that can be <6>

R1C1 is the only square in row 1 that can be <6>

R5C2 is the only square in row 5 that can be <1>

R6C8 is the only square in row 6 that can be <5>

R6C6 is the only square in row 6 that can be <6>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <6>

R4C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <7>

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

R8C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <8>

R8C3 can only be <2>

R2C3 can only be <8>

R7C5 is the only square in row 7 that can be <2>

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

Squares R4C9 and R6C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <39>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C9 - removing <9> from <1479> leaving <147>

R2C9 - removing <9> from <1479> leaving <147>

R8C9 - removing <3> from <347> leaving <47>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The values <39> 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 <9> from <1279> leaving <127>

R1C6 - removing <9> from <1279> leaving <127>

Squares R1C9<147>, R2C7<47> and R2C9<147> in block 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <147>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R1C8 - removing <47> from <2479> leaving <29>

Squares R3C2, R3C8, R1C2 and R1C8 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <29>.

R1C2 - removing <29> from <249> leaving <4>

R7C2 can only be <3>
