When the XY is shown to me, it becomes obvious. However, the odd of me finding one in the wild are slim to none!

This is by far the best and most detailed explanation that I've heard. Such a good explanation that is clear. Thank you so much!!

Thanks mam, and please never stop. Your Sudoku tutorials are top-notch.

Thank you so much. I don't think I have found anyone that has explained as well as you have so I subscribed

Excellent lesson. I have watched many sudoku tutorial and nobody taught this method. Your video are very well explained logically and very well demonstrated with visual cues.

Excellent explanation. I see so many how-to's that show what to look for but don't explain the exclusion logic. This is a very powerful demonstration and learning tool. Thank you.

Never understood this so vividly Thank you so much 😊

Excellent video - I’ve watched this video three times over the past week and today I finally found and solved an xy wing. It feels great to have spotted an xy wing and worked out the logic. I have been struggling with the xy concept for sometime and this video make total sense to me. Thank you.

best explanation of the XY Wing I've come across. Thanks!

Thank you very much for these techniques. I have been learning the XY-wing and the related XYZ-wing from Learn Something and I am hoping this technique will help me solve sudokus that so far I have not been able to solve.

Great Lesson. XY wings are very hard to find (for me anyway). I enjoyed your explanation.

Your instructional technique is excellent!

Thank you so much!❤ This was a very well explained video❤

This is best XY Wing example ever! I can actually do them now. Thank you!

Excellent presentation. Spot on explanation...simple, elegant, easy to understand!

How did the pivot cell jump from being 2368 to just 68 with no explanation?

This is the best explanation I've come across! Thanks!

Very clear explanation, with different examples. Thanks to you, i've got it at last! Many thanks.

Ahh thank you so much! I finially get it 🎉❤ Great multiple examples, that’s what helped me understand the formula. Thank you again! So satisfying to unlock the puzzle

Such great explanation, examples and practice! Really, really clear to understand. Thanks a lot!!!

I’ve been confusing y wings with swordfish. Your explanations are helping me so much!

Great tutorial!

Fantastic explanation! This is a very difficult topic to explain with clarity and rarely does the light go on in my head, like it did when watching this video. Thank you very much!

A Wonderful explanation. Thank You.

best explanation of the XY Wing Thanks

excellent

This looks like a powerful tool, very well explained by you, thank you. However, one needs practice in spotting the 3 cells.

Very good explanation thank u so much mam

很棒喔👍

What I found tricky here was the reduction for eliminating the possibilities. Looking at example 1 the possibilities were (2368) for cell positioned at (2,3) of block (1,2). This was rapidly stated to be of only possible values (36). This was the pivot cell and so was an essential piece of the argument. I was struggling to see how the other possibilities were eliminated.

Thank you!!!

Detailed and well explained. Gives me confidence to tackle some of the more challenging puzzles I am getting. Thanks very much for all your sudoku puzzles guides!

nice

For example 1 - I don't see how this is a y-wing. Both of the wing cells have only two candidates, yes, but BOTH candidates in each of the wing cells are also in the pivot cell. That is until at 1:05 two candidates in the pivot cell magically disappear to make the pattern fit the definition. How did you know which of the 4 original candidates in the pivot cell to eliminate?

I copied this puzzle a couple of months ago, stowed it away, and tried to solve it on my own this morning. I found a different y wing: cells 41, 63 (pivot) and 69 which combined eliminate the 469 in cell 61, leaving a 3 for that cell. Maybe technically it's not a y wing but I think it works.

I love your easy learn way of explaining sodoku but canwe solve a sodoku puzzle without having to rely on x wings orxy wings

In block 5 cell 7,8 also is peer cell Isn't it Mam In the third example

I can follow up to the point where you start eliminating numbers; I use probabilities which work 50% of the time, lol.

2nd example was not needed as we had a 1,5 double which would have left a naked 7 and a naked 8 which would have solved it a lot quicker.

if thats xy wing there is another one with the 79 in the middle box aka box 5, one wing is in box 2 contains 47 and the other wing is in the box 4 and contains 49, either way both box 2 and 4 could have number 4 but that solves nothing i wonder is it xy wing at all or it is but its just unusable xy wing someone ?

It looks to me that any of the three cells can be considered pivot cell while the other two wings, right?

When you say the answer I see the solution as clear as day and understand until I get another example. Idk, maybe I need Jesus to help me every time.

XY wing, Y wing, whatever, it looks like an L to me

0:33 Instead of relying on Google first-page response, in the future how about curating/picking a clearer definition? Because Google's was awful. "unit".... okayyyy, what a uselessly broad term. Ugh. And how does it define "first"? It doesn't. If you're going to try to teach you have to use well-thought out materials that are appropriate to beginners. I think your videos have merit, but teaching is a skill that requires effort to think llike someone who knows little/nothing of the topic you are trying to teach. At 1:02 we see 6,B lose two candidates without explanation. You never explain HOW you spot an X/Y wing, they're just magically green now. Nor do you explain why that is the "pivot" cell (we have to guess it's related to intersection). Again, I think your vids have merit, but you need to proceed from the standpoint that the viewer does not know what you know.

1:53 Seriously? SERIOUSLY? That's your explanation for the naming? Seriously thinking about unsubscribing.

It is hard to find them. First i try to see the "bent triple" . And if i found one ,then i try to make the XY-wing.
