Solve it in the app to get on the board

Step-by-step solution

Every cell below is filled by the same hint engine the app uses, in the order it can be deduced — 47 steps using 2 techniques.

Techniques used

  • Naked Single — every other digit is already used in this cell's row, column or box, so only one candidate is left
  • Hidden Single — inside one row, column or box this digit fits in only one cell, so it must go there
  1. R8C7 = 6 · Naked SingleLooking at R8C7:- Row 8 already has 3, 4 and 7 → ruled out.- Column 7 already has 1, 2, 5 and 8 → ruled out.- The bottom-right 3×3 box already has 9 → ruled out.So this cell can only be 6.
  2. R2C8 = 1 · Hidden SingleIn the top-right 3×3 box, 1 fits in only one cell. Looking at the other empty cells:- Because row 1 already has a 1, R1C9 cannot hold 1.- Because column 7 already has a 1, R2C7 cannot hold 1.- Because row 3 already has a 1, R3C7, R3C8 and R3C9 cannot hold 1.So 1 must go in R2C8.
  3. R1C9 = 4 · Hidden SingleIn the top-right 3×3 box, 4 fits in only one cell. Looking at the other empty cells:- Because row 2 already has a 4, R2C7 cannot hold 4.- Because row 3 already has a 4, R3C7, R3C8 and R3C9 cannot hold 4.So 4 must go in R1C9.
  4. R3C9 = 2 · Hidden SingleIn the top-right 3×3 box, 2 fits in only one cell. Looking at the other empty cells:- Because column 7 already has a 2, R2C7 and R3C7 cannot hold 2.- Because column 8 already has a 2, R3C8 cannot hold 2.So 2 must go in R3C9.
  5. R5C9 = 1 · Naked SingleLooking at R5C9:- Row 5 already has 2, 3, 4 and 9 → ruled out.- Column 9 already has 5, 6, 7 and 8 → ruled out.So this cell can only be 1.
  6. R3C8 = 6 · Hidden SingleIn the top-right 3×3 box, 6 fits in only one cell. Looking at the other empty cells:- Because column 7 already has a 6, R2C7 and R3C7 cannot hold 6.So 6 must go in R3C8.
  7. R4C8 = 9 · Naked SingleLooking at R4C8:- Row 4 already has 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 → ruled out.- Column 8 already has 2, 4 and 5 → ruled out.So this cell can only be 9.
