Nine

Naked triple

A technique Nine explains

Like a naked pair, but with three cells sharing exactly three digits between them. A cell does not need all three; together they must be exactly three.

Example

These three cells in row 8 share exactly 3, 5 and 6 between them. Those three digits are theirs, so they are out in the rest of row 8. That leaves one cell with only one digit left: 2.
