.
The solution "XY-Wing 19 18 89 pivoted in r5c1 solves it by setting r9c9<>9." not withstanding, a question comes up.
| Code: |
+-------------+----------+--------------+
| 4 8 1 | 25 7 59 | 239 6 239 |
| 3 259 57 | 26 1 69 | 279 8 4 |
| 279 29 6 | 8 4 3 | 5 129 1279 |
+-------------+----------+--------------+
| 27 2456 9 | 1 36 8 | 237 245 237 |
| 18 14 3 | 7 5 2 | 6 49 89 |
| 278 256* 57 | 9 36 4 | 1 25 2378 |
+-------------+----------+--------------+
| 5 3 2 | 4 9 1 | 8 7 6 |
| 6 19 4 | 3 8 7 | 29 129 5 |
| 19 7 8 | 56 2 56 | 4 3 19 |
+-------------+----------+--------------+
|
At this point in the puzzle, using 'HINT' results in r6c2 = '6'.
Is it possible to learn the reasoning behind the clue given by 'HINT'?

Ema, I don't know if the "hint" button gives you a "logical solver" next step or just picks a cell to give you the answer to!
But in row 4 you have a naked triple 237 which makes r4c5=6 and so r6c2=6.. |

or i'd say,
in r4 there's a "hidden" duo {4,5}
-- which solves the 6 for c2 |

The XY-Wing also works as an 891, pivoted in r5c9; r9c1<>1.

Peter, the hints are based on a logical step. |
