Squares R2C1, R2C3 and R2C7 in row 2 form a simple naked triplet. These 3 squares all contain the 3 possibilities <168>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C5 - removing <68> from <5689> leaving <59>

R2C9 - removing <16> from <1569> leaving <59>

Squares R1C8 and R3C8 in block 3 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 block.

R1C9 - removing <36> from <3569> leaving <59>

R2C7 - removing <6> from <168> leaving <18>

R3C7 - removing <36> from <1368> leaving <18>

Squares R2C7 and R3C7 in column 7 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.

R4C7 - removing <1> from <136> leaving <36>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C1 - removing <6> from <3468> leaving <348>

R1C2 - removing <6> from <69> leaving <9>

R3C2 - removing <6> from <169> leaving <19>

R3C3 - removing <6> from <13468> leaving <1348>
