Also xyz wing 358 pr4c6, r4c3-8

health and happiness to all!

Also xywing134pr6c1,r5c1-4 stte

Not sure of the terminology.
one stepper xyz(459) p:r8c5,r9c5<>9

It's an XYZ-Wing.

Thanks Marty, then
XYZ-Wing 45-9 pivot in r9c5; r9c5<>9.
?

What does stte mean?

Not sure of the terminology.
one stepper xyz(459) p:r8c5,r9c5<>9

It falls to me then to present the exciting solution:37-8 XY-Wing pivot r4c6::r8c4<>8 then just basicsThere. Done that. Back to sleep now......

Which is more difficult, the puzzles or the terminology? I'm going to use xyz when there 3 evaluations and xy with 2 from now on. Shocked

I didn't see Marty's but stumbled onto a one stepper:
