R2C4 is the only square in row 2 that can be <6>

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

R2C2 is the only square in row 2 that can be <3>

R9C8 is the only square in row 9 that can be <2>

R7C1 is the only square in row 7 that can be <2>

R5C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <3>

R4C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <2>

R6C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <6>

Squares R4C8 and R6C8 in column 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <48>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C8 - removing <48> from <4589> leaving <59>

R2C8 - removing <48> from <4578> leaving <57>

R2C6 is the only square in row 2 that can be <8>

Squares R1C4 and R1C6 in row 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <24>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R1C2 - removing <4> from <148> leaving <18>

R1C7 - removing <4> from <1489> leaving <189>

Squares R1C4 and R5C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <24>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C4 - removing <4> from <489> leaving <89>

R6C4 - removing <4> from <34789> leaving <3789>

R9C4 - removing <4> from <479> leaving <79>

Intersection of row 5 with block 5. The values <24> 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 <4> from <4689> leaving <689>

R4C6 - removing <4> from <145> leaving <15>

R6C5 - removing <4> from <489> leaving <89>

R6C6 - removing <4> from <1347> leaving <137>

Squares R4C4 and R6C5 in block 5 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.

R4C5 - removing <89> from <689> leaving <6>

R6C4 - removing <89> from <3789> leaving <37>

R5C5 can only be <4>

R5C4 can only be <2>

R1C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <5>

R1C8 can only be <9>

R9C6 is the only square in column 6 that can be <4>

Intersection of column 2 with block 4. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R4C2, R5C2 and R6C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C1 - removing <4> from <149> leaving <19>

Intersection of block 7 with row 8. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R8C1, R8C2 and R8C3 of block 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 8 cannot contain this value.

R8C4 - removing <9> from <3789> leaving <378>

Squares R6C4, R6C6, R8C4 and R8C6 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <37>.

R8C4 - removing <37> from <378> leaving <8>
