Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site

I'm a sucker for deadly patterns. To avoid the DP 16-19-69 in boxes 123, r2c4 must be = 2 or 4. A few cells are forced with either number and they solve the puzzle.

Check out the bivalue pairs containing 7's in columns 1, 5 and 9. Was able to use the skycraper logic to eliminate two 7's in row 9, which made an otherwise difficult puzzle a LOT easier.

Don't see any wings, but maybe I only reduced the puzzle as far as the last poster?

Uncommonly cluttered after basics - but a simple x wing on 7 does it in.

I can't find the wing on 7. Can you be more specific?

A Kraken x-wing on <7> in r46c38 with fin in r4c6 deletes <7> in r7c3 & r59c8 for a one step solution also.

I came across 2 x-wings of 7's. The first was at r5c59 and r8c59. The second was at r6c38 and r7c38.
