There's a nice little DP, 78-57-58, in r46,c247. Pseudo cell 69 in r46,c7 combines with 69 in r3c7 to form naked pair=>r8c7<>6. Or r46,c7 can be viewed as a Type 4 since 5 is a strong link, removing the 8s, yielding the same result.

There sure can be a world of difference in practical difficulty between two VH puzzles. Getting so close to complete with really easy basics on this one made finding the XY-wing a snap. Most of them take me twice as long as this one did, and I had to give up on the Apr 22 one. Embarassed

Did you look at the answer? If not, here's a grid after basics.

Code:

| 5  146  146  | 8    123  367   | 467 247 9  |
+--------------+-----------------+------------+
| 1  4789 5    | 2    6    89    | 347 478 37 |
| 3  6789 6789 | 459  4589 589   | 67  1   2  |
