Killer Sudoku
(Published on 3. August 2026, 06:23 by jovi_al)
It has been a while since I last made a Sudoku.
Place a whole number from 1-9 into every cell such that all numbers from that range appear in every row, column, and thickly outlined 3x3 region. Regions with a dotted outline are called "cages." Cages must contain entirely distinct numbers that sum to the total given in the top left of the cage.
Solution code: column 4, column 6 (top to bottom)

First 3 star puzzle I have done. Must be 2 star on that basis. Liked it!

Very nice! My holiday brain was really slow, so it felt harder than it was. Thanks!

I had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure it was really you [lul]
Very clean deductions overall thanks to the efficient choices of the cages, thanks for some great fun x)
