See https://www.sudokuwiki.org/Unique_Rectangles
for your puzzle on r78c59. r8c9 must be 2.

Somewhat later I saw a hidden single 4 in c7.

.7...5.9.34..275..5..8.4.....4..8765..7.568..86574.....2.4.135.451...6..7835629..

From your stuck position :

Code: Select all
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
|#16      7       28-6     |#136    #13      5        | 4       9       28-136   |
| 3       4       689      | 169     2       7        | 5       18      168      |
| 5       19      269      | 8       19-3    4        | 12     X1237   X12367    |
|--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------|
| 129     139     4        | 1239    139     8        | 7       6       5        |
| 129     139     7        | 1239    5       6        | 8       34-12   349-12   |
| 8       6       5        | 7       4       39       |*12     *123    *1239     |
|--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------|
| 69      2       69       | 4       78      1        | 3       5       78       |
| 4       5       1        | 39      3789    39       | 6       278     278      |
| 7       8       3        | 5       6       2        | 9       14      14       |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Claiming triples of 1 & 2 in Box 6 r6c789 (cells marked *) => - 12 r5c89;

Naked triple (136) in r1c145 (cells marked #) => - 6 r1c3, - 136 r1c9; this exposes

Pointing pair of 3's in Box 3 r3c89 (cells marked X) => - 3 r3c5; then

Code: Select all
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
| 16      7       28       | 136     13      5        | 4       9       28       |
| 3       4       689      | 169     2       7        | 5       18      168      |
| 5      *19      26-9     | 8      *19      4        | 2-1     237-1   2367-1   |
|--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------|
| 129     139     4        | 1239    139     8        | 7       6       5        |
| 129     139     7        | 1239    5       6        | 8       34      349      |
| 8       6       5        | 7       4       39       | 12      123     1239     |
|--------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------------|
| 69      2       69       | 4       78      1        | 3       5       78       |
| 4       5       1        | 39      78      39       | 6       278     278      |
| 7       8       3        | 5       6       2        | 9       14      14       |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Naked pair (19) r3c25 (cells marked *) => - 9 r3c3, -1 r3c789; r3c7 is thus 2 and the puzzle solves with singles.
