I didn't notice the W-Wing, but the 57s could be used as an M-Wing, although it was a case of simple coloring on 7. Either way, that's all that was needed.
On my 2nd attempt an XY-Wing (275) plus pincer transport did it. |

| Can I remove the 45 in r7c8? Is there a unique rectangle there? |

Yes, the Type 1 UR45 in r17c78 deletes both the 4 and 5 in r7c8.
Also note the 6-cell DP on 45 in r167c789. To prevent the DP, r6c89=7, r7c9=7, or r7c9=2.
(7)r6c89 - (7=9)r6c3,
(7)r7c9 - (7=5)r9c9 - (5=9)r9c2 - (9)r6c2 = (9)r6c3,
(2)r7c9 - (2=7)r5c9 - (7=5)r9c9 - (5=9)r9c2 - (9)r6c2 = (9)r6c3.
Thus, all conditions to prevent the deadly pattern force r6c3=9 to complete the puzzle in one step.

| Louise's UR jumped out at me as soon as I finished basics. After that, two xy-wings on 257 solved it. |

Why does the ABC combination not eliminate the 7 from r5c1?

C can be 2, 5, or 7.
If it is 2, A is 7. If it is 5, B is 7. If it is 7, you cannot make an elimination in R5C1 using only A, B, C.

DEF does not eliminate 5 in R7C9.
Ema,
I suggest you get a copy of Sudoku Susser. It explains the "why" of every move.
It is easy to use, and Norm has videos that show some of the finer points.

May I add the reason is that in this XY-Wing, E is the pivot and D and F the pincers. The pincer number is 5 and no cell with a 5 sees both pincers.
The 5 in r9c2 can be eliminated with a pincer transport, but we're getting ahead of ourselves with that. |
