What Is an X-Wing in Sudoku?

X-Wing is a single-digit fish pattern. It appears when one candidate is restricted to the same two columns in two different rows, or the same two rows in two different columns. Once that rectangle is confirmed, the candidate can be eliminated from the rest of those intersecting rows or columns.

Who Should Use This Page?

This page is best for solvers who already understand singles, intersections, and basic subsets, and now want to practice a recognizable mid-level logic pattern on paper. If you are moving from easier deduction into fish techniques, X-Wing is one of the best places to start.
