DingDong's Killer #1
(Published on 5. November 2025, 09:37 by dingdongeu)
In this entry, I wanted to try to improve my setting ability by creating a puzzle with only killer cage constraints. I feel as though this puzzle is a 2 star, but I've had varying results from testing.
- Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Killer cage: Digits in a cage must sum up to the digit in the top left of the cage and cannot repeat.
Play it on Sudokupad here.
Solution code: Row 8, left to right.

Beautiful puzzle. I had a really fun time applying Phistomefel's methodology to this.

Great Sudoku! A bit bumpy at first, but much easier later.

Beautiful killer with some advanced steps, so 2 stars is too low in my opinion. I rated it 3 stars but it could even be rated as 4 as some steps are not obvious and tricky. Thank you!

Very fun solve. Clever solution path. If you're struggling, google the Phistomofel ring...it will set you in the right direction!

Very nice but quite hard - took me 64 minutes so I guess I missed something if this is a 2 star puzzle.

I think I've solved it but the solution code isn't working.

I think I've solved it but the solution code isn't working.
- DD : Apologies, It's meant to be Row 8. I'll change that now.
- P : Thanks!
