Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site

A second X wing on 5 in columns 1 and 7 does the same first step as
Clement and Marty.

BTW I've never quite followed Dan's solutions!

It helps to learn Eureka notation, which I decided to learn a few years too late, but better late than never.

What he's saying is that if r4c8=9, then r6c7=1. If r4c8=5, then r6c7=17. Either way it can't be =5.

if r4c8 is not 5 then           
                        r6c18 is 75

                                Therefore r6c7 cannot be 5

                                            singles to end


Hope this helps

ALS XY-wing (Almost Locked Set)

remove the 1 from r6c18 and you have a locked set that makes a pincher.
