In[1]:=
SwordFish
["1W4@bZCieWu%H9TD2vh!#$ysgxO@#eRrZZv#Mf%k!nRi",{8,5}]
Out[1]=
SwordFish-6: R1C2(1,5,8), R5C5(1,3,7,8), R5C9(1,4,5,8), R8C5(3,5)
The 7 yellow cells are the only cells in the columns 1, 3 and 6 with candidate 6. Moreover, these cells are in only three rows, 1, 4 and 8. It follows that in each of these rows the candidate 6 has to be placed in one of the yellow cells, and therefore can be removed from all other cells in these rows.
