Swordfish Technique
What is the Swordfish Technique?
The Swordfish is an advanced extension of the X-Wing technique using three rows and three columns. If a number appears in only two or three cells in three different rows, and those cells align in three specific columns, you can eliminate that number from other cells in those columns.
This technique creates complex elimination patterns and is essential for solving expert and evil-level puzzles where other techniques have been exhausted.
