Defise has found a solution in 4 non-W1 steps in W5; there's none in 3 steps in W5; for this, we need to go to W7:
whip[5]: r9n6{c7 c1} - r6c1{n6 n1} - r5c1{n1 n4} - c3n4{r4 r3} - c9n4{r3 .} ==> r7c9≠6singles ==> r9c7=6, r3c9=6, r1c5=6, r4c4=6, r7c3=6, r6c1=6
whip[1]: r7n3{c9 .} ==> r8c7≠3, r8c8≠3, r8c9≠3
finned-x-wing-in-columns: n4{c1 c7}{r1 r5} ==> r5c9≠4singles ==> r7c9=4, r9c5=4, r8c5=5, r8c7=9, r8c9=7, r8c8=8, r7c8=3, r9c8=5
whip[1]: b3n5{r2c9 .} ==> r2c3≠5
