LEVEL 7
W-Wing
Two matching bivalue cells connect through a strong link.
How to find it
- Find two non-peer cells with the same two candidates.
- Connect one candidate through a strong link.
- Eliminate the other candidate from cells seeing both endpoints.
Logical demonstration
The violet cells represent the pattern; the gold cell represents the resulting placement or elimination. Verify every highlighted candidate belongs to the required houses before acting.
••••
Common mistakes
- Using cells that do not share the required row, column, box or peer relationship.
- Removing a candidate before confirming every occurrence in the pattern.
- Confusing a possible pattern with a completed logical proof.
