				| Slightly different route: 127 xyz-wing pivot at r9c8 opens type 1 UR on 45 does it. |

				Using strictly the standard VH moves, I needed the XYZ-Wing followed by an XY-Wing 68-7, pivoted in r3c9.
 
 
Note: the grid shown has a couple of extra 8s in b9 (locked 8s in r7) |

Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
 
 
 
As a further alternative to Marty's 687 XY wing- the 467 pivot r8c9
 
also does the trick. Nice one today- tricky basics and a number of
 
 solutions. |

				I got as far as hughwill, but trying to follow the strict VH moves, I do not see the 127 XYZ-Wing suggested by kuskey and Marty R.  
 
 
What am I missing? |

				Dart45,
 
 
In Clement's grid, the 8s can be removed from r9c89. Then the 127 XYZ-Wing can be seen pivoted in r9c8. |
