| XY-Wing 36 39 69 removing the 6's in r89c6 solves it. |

| A W-Wing on 69 will do it too; r5c5<>9. |

Marty, somehow this puzzle has given me the hives. Please point out the strong link on 6 for the W-wing.
thanks |

I have the strong link in column 4. Because there are two 6s in that column in box 5, I think it's referred to a a grouped strong link. |

After basics: | Code: | +----------------+----------------+----------------+

| 6 4 8 | 7 5 2 | 1 9 3 |
| 2 9 7 | 38 1 38 | 6 5 4 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+

| 7 2 49 | 34 39 1 | 5 8 6 |

+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 8 3 2 | 1 4 7 | 9 6 5 |
| 4 56 1 | 9 8 5-6 | 3 7 2 |
| 9 7 56 | 2 36* 35-6 | 4 1 8 |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+ |
I don't see it either.
However, the 69 cells are the basis of a M-wing, making the eliminations shown.

Keith, if r1c4=6, then r1c5=9. If either of r46c4=6, then r6c6=9. |

Marty,
Your logic is correct.
I suppose it is a grouped W-wing? I did not recognize it as a W-wing.

I have always been slightly worried by the "strong link" aspect of w wings as the rule has been formalised elsewhere.
The original logic was "if both 69s were 6 then there is nowhere for a 6 in col 4" in the current example. i.e one of 69 must be 9 .....
so the strong wing in col 4 is sufficient but not strictly needed |

That's a red-herring argument. If there weren't a strong link, there would be somewhere for a 6 in col 4. |
