whether the 3-clue in r6 extends left into c10 or right into c13, the 2-clue in r7 will also be in that same column so you can dot r7c6-8 - you can also dot r7c15-16 this way but it is not necessary
el the 5-clue in r20 to dot c6-7 - you can dot more than this but it is not necessary
iel the 6-clue in c7 - there is no way it can extend down to r19, 18, or 17, or 16 with only a 1-clue in c6 and clues of 2+ in each of those rows and in c8
ll to finish
no guessing
