The Locked Triple Technique in Sudoku
A Locked Triple occurs when three cells in the same house (row, column, or block) contain only three candidates between them. These candidates may be distributed across the three cells in any combination, but they do not appear elsewhere in that house. This allows for the elimination of these candidates from other cells in the same house.
The Locked Candidates Technique in Sudoku
Locked Candidates is a technique where a candidate number is confined to a specific row or column within a block, allowing eliminations in the corresponding row or column outside that block, or vice versa. This technique has two variations: Pointing and Claiming.
The Naked Pair Technique in Sudoku
A Naked Pair occurs when two cells in the same house (row, column, or block) contain only the same two candidates. Since these two candidates must occupy these two cells, they can be eliminated from all other cells in the same house.
The Hidden Pair Technique in Sudoku
A Hidden Pair occurs when two cells in the same house (row, column, or block) are the only two cells that can accommodate two specific candidates. Although these cells may have other candidates, the two specific candidates are hidden among them. Once identified, other candidates can be eliminated from these two cells.
