Hi...I have only been doing puzzles for a few weeks, and have gotten a book "The Big Book of Sudoku #1" by Mark Huckvale. I am stuck on a Challenging puzzle and am looking for a move!!
Thanks!

There's only one place for a 5 in row 5 = hidden single, then same in row 3. Then there are naked singles.

Look carefully at box 6 - there is a hidden single.
Then look carefully at box 3 - there will be another one.
Then look carefully at column 9 - you should spot another single and from there it all falls into place with plenty more singles revealed.

Post again if you want more revealing clues.

Everything will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end!
