Squares R7C6 and R9C6 in column 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <49>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C6 - removing <49> from <1249> leaving <12>

R6C6 - removing <9> from <129> leaving <12>

Squares R4C7 and R5C7 in block 6 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 block.

R5C9 - removing <24> from <1249> leaving <19>

R6C8 - removing <2> from <129> leaving <19>

R5C7 is the only square in row 5 that can be <4>

R4C7 can only be <2>

Squares R8C1 and R8C2 in block 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R7C1 - removing <4> from <249> leaving <29>

R9C2 - removing <4> from <249> leaving <29>

Intersection of block 2 with row 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of block 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C8 - removing <2> from <1249> leaving <149>

Intersection of block 4 with column 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of block 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C3 - removing <2> from <129> leaving <19>

Intersection of row 1 with block 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R1C8 and R1C9 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R2C9 - removing <2> from <129> leaving <19>

Squares R2C9 and R5C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <19>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C9 - removing <19> from <1249> leaving <24>

Squares R8C1, R8C2, R4C1 and R4C2 form a Type-2 Unique Rectangle on <14>.

R4C4 - removing <9> from <19> leaving <1>
