Surprising Stars

(Published on 22. September 2025, 16:21 by radams)

Normal Sudoku Rules apply.

XV Clues: Digits separated by an X sum to 10.

All possible X clues have been given.

Killer Cages: Any digits in a cage sum to the total in the top-left corner of the cage. Digits can repeat in a cage if allowed by other rules.

Each star in the puzzle contains the same set of eight digits between 1 and 9. I.e. digits do not repeat on a star and the missing digit (to be found) never appears on any of the stars.

Note: The Half stars in the corners are connected diagonally to make whole stars.

Fog: The fog in the puzzle will clear once all occurrences of the missing digit have been placed.
