Easier Teams Sudoku - Counts and Sums

(Published on 31. May 2020, 20:19 by stephane.bura)

I really like this idea which I explored in a very hard puzzle here.
Since I'd like you to experience it without melting your brain, I've made this easier puzzle with the same principle :) Enjoy!


Normal Sudoku rules apply.

Digits are split into two teams: A and B. You have to find which digits belong to each team.

An arrow in a cell containing a digit from team A indicates that this digit is the number of digits from team B in that direction.

An arrow in a cell containing a digit from team B indicates that this digit is the sum of the digits from team A in that direction.

All the possible arrows are present.
[Note: There are diagonal arrows in this puzzle which were not present in the previous one.]

That's a very interesting type of Sudoku. I have enjoyed solving this a lot.

Hint: the partial contents of row 9 and column 9 are enough to determine the compositions of the teams.

I love this idea but it doesn't take me long to get totally stuck, lol.
