Sum Random Vault

(Published on 24. April 2025, 15:17 by purpl)

I set a little vault puzzle for a setting prompt and realized that vault is pretty fun to think about. I decided to set something larger and I think it turned out quite nice! I hope you enjoy!

Rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Vault Killers: Digits may not repeat within cages. Digits in cages sum to the total in the top left-hand corner, if given. Also digits orthogonally adjacent to a cage may not be included within that cage.

For example, the unclued cage within box 3 cannot contain a 3 since the given 3 is adjacent to the cage.

Solution code: Column 9 (top to bottom, 9 digits, no spaces/commas)
