Beautiful puzzle! Very smooth but takes some good deduction in mid solve after which it crumbles. Thanks for setting and sharing this.

I'm new to this community and forum, so apologies if this is not allowed.
I've been working on this puzzle on and off for a couple of days and am stuck. Is it possible for me to receive a hint? I've placed what I assume should be the first digit but can't seem to progress any further.

Hello tangytrumpet, thank you for giving our puzzle a go! Asking for hints is always allowed. You can either write a hidden comment (so I can edit that one without giving spoilers to others) or contact us via discord.
Kind regards, sujoyku

I would love to join the Discord; where can I get an invite?

I think you can join the CTC Community server without an invite. You may also contact me via DM if you like.
p.s. Just looked it up: You can find the CTC discord in the information under their Youtube videos.

Fun! A user named antichaos set a couple of puzzles with killer lines a few years ago. I liked the puzzles, so naturally I'm happy to see someone finally reinvent the idea :D https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=0007E7

Thank you for your comment, Piatato! We are glad that you liked the puzzle. Also thanks for pointing out the prior example of Killer Lines. Although we had not been aware of that puzzle, it does not come as a huge surprise given how natural the ruleset feels. High time to check out how antichaos used it. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku

Quite refreshing! Should make Killers a lot more flexible to set with... though perhaps this is a chance to rename Killers? You could really lean into it - "Assassin Lines" - or keep it more kid friendly with "Sum Lines".
**
Thank you for your comment, ViKingPrime! We are glad you found it to be refreshing. I don't know about renaming the constraint, "Killer Lines" rolls good off the tongue for me. But thank you for suggesting!
Kind regards, sujoyku
