Let’s look at the (only two) possibilities for 8 in Box 9:

If r7c9 is an 8, r7c8 becomes a 6. At the same time, r4c7 and r6c7 will become a 5/8 pair (the 5 you already have and the 8 can now no longer be at any other point in c7 except in box 6). As a result, however, r4c8 would become a 6 and this is not due to the 6 in r7c8.

Therefore, r7c9 cannot be 8 and thus the 8 in box 9 in r8c7.

I’m sure you’ll be on your own.

In cell(8,7), 1,2,8,9 are approved

In cell(9,7) 1,2,6.9 are approved

In cell(9,8), 1,2,6.9 are approved

Now you have already discovered a “5.6” pair in the cells (9,4) and (9,6).

Thus, the “6”s fall into the cells (9,7) and (9.9).

A “1,2,9” triplet thus forms in the cells (8,7), (9,7) and (9.9).

Thus, the “1” in the cell (7,8) is no longer available. It is thus established that cell(7,8) can only be a “6”

you have been hacked 🙂 (9.9) has been disfigured to (9,8)!

The “3” is already confirmed for the cell(9,8).

I know: but in your answer you write that in (9,8) 1 2 6 9 are allowed. You mean (9.9)
