What is Pointing Pair (lined up inside a box)? How to Solve Sudoku

What it is

If, inside a box, a digit can only go in cells that sit in one straight line (one row or one column), the digit must be somewhere on that line.

So the rest of that line, outside the box, can't have that digit.

Example: in box 1, 5 can only go in two cells of column 2 → remove 5 from column 2 in the other boxes.

How to spot it

Inside a box, check whether a digit's candidates line up in a row or column. If they do, extend that line out of the box and remove the digit there.

Example

Yellow cells are where to look, orange cells are the reason, red digits are candidates you can remove, and the blue digit is the answer.

In box 2, 6 can only go in R1C5 and R2C5. They all sit on column 5. So box 2's 6 is somewhere on column 5, and the rest of column 5 outside the box (R9C5) can't be 6.
