r/sudoku

Almost solved it but can't solve the last part, if anyone can come up with a solution please help T-T

So I’m playing on the Sudoku.com app and am almost done solving this puzzle but I’m genuine stuck. I’m pretty beginner so I don’t think I identify any skyscrapers? Thats really the only advanced kind of technique I’ve learned.

Hitting the hint on the app gives me a Bowman’s Bingo, which after reading it makes sense, but after looking it up on Reddit seems to be an unpopular method of just brute forcing it.

Is there a strategy or method I’m missing here?

I’ve been trying to learn harder techniques this year - I am working my way through a brain games sudoku book from a bookstore and turning to sudoku-solutions when I need a hint.

I have run into two puzzles so far that it refuses to offer a hint or how to solve. This is one of them, please halp! 🙏 what am I missing? What should I do next?

Friends! I think after a couple weeks of practicing Im confident I can solve finned swordfishes, theres one thing I cant understand:

Why is R8C9 assumed to be the fin?? As opposed to R4C7? (Both circled) Neither cells share a column.

IN ADDITION! How can R8C9 be a “FIN”? Making it a fin makes the swordfish incomplete? I cant wrap my head around the geometry.

You can run a true/ false chain starting at either end of the fins and eliminate the candidates that both fins see, this is really an X-Chain

I've been looking at this for hours and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. I think having looked at techniques there may be an x wing somewhere but tbh I've spent so long looking at it over several days it's just a blur. Any help appreciated.

I've been reading guides, but I still can't apply them to particular puzzles. What's the most obvious thing here?

I’m completely stuck and have no idea what I’m missing. I’ve attached the rules of the puzzle. Any help would be appreciated.

edit: SOLVED THANK YOU
I can normally solve the NYT hard puzzles without any advanced techniques (which is good because I don’t know any 😆). This one is stumping me though!! What am I missing here? I’m pretty sure the candidates are all correct.

I feel like there's a technique I don't know, but maybe it's just something right in front of me
