SudoCue Users

I used a web site to help solve a square that I was stuck with: 609240007 002076090 173090624 806430079 090000060 000069005 918000746 000687912 267914358 When it got to where I was stuck, it found: HIDDEN UNIQUE RECTANGLE Type 2: removing 5 at E4 because of CE46 and one strong link between C6 and E6...
