Co-Prime Killers
(Published on 29. May 2026, 23:19 by Reaperskill)
I promise not every puzzle I make will consist of a grid entirely filled by killer cages none of which state what their total is. But also, while this is my second it's definitely not my last
Rules
1] Normal 8x8 Sudoku rules apply.
2] No two orthogonally adjacent digits may share a divisor. [e.g. A 6 may not be next to a 4 because they are both divisible by 2, and it may not be next to a 3 because they are both divisible by 3.]
3] The cages, which entirely cover the grid, are "killer cages" for which the totals must be determined. Digits may not repeat within a killer cage, and its value is equal to the sum of the digits within.
4] No two orthogonally adjacent Killer Cages may share a divisor. [e.g. A cage summing to 28 may not share an edge with a cage summing to any other even number, nor to a cage summing to 7 or 21]

I'll certainly consider doing an easier version with a few extra clues - I think I just get carried away with the clean aesthetic on ones like this. Does 4 stars feel like the right difficulty or should I have put this one at 5? I know that the player rating kicks in when it gets to 10 completions, but not sure this one is going to get there.

Very tough and beautiful. More at the hidden section.
