Advanced Logic26 / 32

Twin cells linked by a strong wire.

Two cells in different units holding the identical candidate pair {A,B}, plus a unit in which digit B has exactly two spots — one seeing each twin. That strong link wires the twins together.

Try to make both twins B: the wire's ends are then both blocked, but the wire's unit needs its B somewhere in those two spots. Contradiction — so at least one twin is A, and cells seeing both twins drop A.

Step 1 of 4

The setup

Collect pairs of identical bivalue cells that don't see each other. For each pair, hunt for a row, column or box where one of their two digits has exactly two spots, one next to each twin. Step through this real position to see it happen.

Practice

Find the W-Wing and remove the twins' other digit from their common peers.

Tap a cell, then the candidate digit you want to remove.
