 	  | Quote: | 	 		  extend the 67 w-wing.  its pincers are in r3c4 and r8c3.  the extension goes through the grouped linked in box 8 on 7's.  
 
eliminates the 7 in r3c6.
 
actually on second glance, a ER on 6's will do it. |

				| All those 67s, but I couldn't find a W-Wing. But an XY-Wing (367) and multi-coloring (6) did the job. The previous three puzzle were ultra easy but this was a tough nut to crack even though there were just a few moves. |

				I found a handful of +/- useless w-wings.
 
But one of them did it: a 56 w-wing (6)r1c6=r2c3 via SL (5) in row 2 removes 6 from r9c6 |

				I didn't find any w-wings but here is a one step chain: 	  | Code: | 	 		   *--------------------------------------------------*

				Oops    , I was so confused by the various useless and marginally useful wings that I failed to mention that the w-wing I described does not eliminate the candidate directly, but only after transport from r2c3 to r9c2.
 
 
AND ...       the strong link on 5 that holds the w-wing together is in row 3 rather than row 2.
 
 
AND ...           now that I look at the whole "transported w-wing" I see that it is just a simple m-wing:
