Small Destruction
(Published today, 00:00 by NXTMaster)
This puzzle is the second in a series where I challenged myself to make a Destruction puzzle for each square grid size from 4x4 to 9x9.
The rules are as follows:
The rules are as follows:
- Place the digits 1-5 once in every row and column.
- Chaos Destruction: All given regions must be "destroyed" by making sure they do not contain all the digits 1-5. The grid also consists of five hidden, orthogonally connected regions that each do contain all the digits 1-5. Digits in circles represent how many of its orthogonally and diagonally adjacent cells, including itself, belong to both the given and hidden regions where the circle resides (i.e., where they overlap).
The puzzle is available on SudokuPad with answer check on only the sudoku digits but also available on Penpa+ with answer check on sudoku digits and hidden region boundaries using the Green Edge tool (mark the perimeter/border). Have fun destroying!
Solution code: Column 3 (top to bottom). Include a "-" to separate digits belonging to different hidden regions.

I'm glad to hear it! Of all my destruction puzzles, I believe this one to be the best introductory puzzle to the variant.
