- Reduces manual bookkeeping and prevents transcription errors.
- The most efficient way to achieve advanced logical mastery.
What are Remote Pairs?
Remote Pairs is an advanced logic technique involving a sequence of identical bi-value cells (e.g., several cells all containing exactly 4 and 9). If the chain has an even number of links, any cell that sees BOTH ends of the chain cannot contain either of those two candidates.
Why "Remote"?
They are called "Remote" because the cells involved can be very far apart on the grid. As long as they share a logical connection (row, column, or block), the chain remains valid, spanning multiple "chutes" of the Sudoku board.
Remote Pairs FAQ
What are Remote Pairs in Sudoku?
Remote Pairs is a chain technique involving cells that have the EXACT same two candidates (e.g., all 3,5). You form a chain of these cells. If the chain has an even number of links, any cell that sees both the start and end of the chain can eliminate those two candidates.
Is it related to XY-Chain?
Yes! Remote Pairs is a simplified version of an XY-Chain where every cell in the chain contains the same two digits. This makes them much easier to spot once you have built the vision for it.
What does "Chute" mean?
"Chute" refers to a group of three blocks in a row or column. While Remote Pairs can span the whole grid, many common examples occur within these "chutes," making it a useful way to organize your search.
How hard is it to find Remote Pairs on paper?
Once you identify the bi-value cells with matching digits, the logic is very elegant and easy to trace. It is one of the most satisfying techniques to execute on a printed Sudoku grid.
Why practice with pre-filled candidates?
Since the logic relies entirely on finding matching pairs of candidates, having the candidates already filled in allows you to scan the grid for "pair islands" and connect them logical chains instantly.
