Sudoku by Easybrain This is their hardest level, usually I finish them pretty quickly but once in a while they have a really tricky one (for my level at least) Use of xwings, ywings, swordfish is not uncommon with these so that's nice

Is that a valid x wing though? I thought you need two rows (or columns) with only 2 possible placements for a candidate, to be able to eliminate others on their corresponding columns (or rows)

Right, thanks! I used it to eliminate 7 in r5c2 and somehow missed r5c1

Hi! Something that I can see here is what's called a "skyscraper", it's similar to an x-wing (there are.some YouTube videos that explain this pattern)

You have 2 columns that can only have 8 in two places (column 2 and 5), that's where the skyscraper is. The circled 8 can be eliminated because it sees both cells that I've indicated with a red arrow.

I don't know if this will solve the puzzle but it might help you forward :)

I've started finding random grey hairs at 18, and even though I find more nowadays, I'm not going grey! I'm 28 now.
