Another very enjoyable VH puzzle!

I required two ERs, two xy-wings, two kites and one UR. I have to assume a couple were not actually required but they were still fun to find. It also had a good mix, for me, of VH techniques and basic clean-up.

Ted Very Happy

'---------------------'---------------------'---------------------'

marked above is the w-wing {1,8} with hinge/group link on the 1's. this removes 8 from r4c2. that puts a hole in this for a while

Code:

'---------------------'---------------------'---------------------'

the UR {2,9} r48c78 is there
but...
another w-wing {6,7} via grouped strong link on 6 in box 5
now, the 7's in r7c5 and r5c7 eliminate the 7 in r7c7
then with some extension to the 7 in r7c2 to r9c2, elimates the 7 in r9c7

Norm that is a fantastic move! It is something that is now obvious but I have never consider it before. In fact, I was still thinking about it while I was working on another puzzle and the identical situation occurred so I had to immediately sent this post.

Great going!.
