Watch It Crash (Killer sudoku with Calvinball)

(Published on 5. September 2026, 10:00 by sujoyku)

Calvinball jokingly asked me for a break-in idea and, a couple of hours later, we had this puzzle. We were not quite sure how to estimate difficulty, but testing feedback suggested 2 stars. We like to thank all who tested and wish you joyful solving!

Rules:

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each Row, Column, and 3x3 Region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Killer Cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and must sum to the clue in the top left.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solve on Sudokupad

Solution code: Row 7 from left to right (9 digits in total)

Very fun and nice break in. I still hear the dominos falling afterwards.

Title well chosen. After the break in, things were speeding up fast into a smooth solve. Nice. Thanks

**
Thank you for your comment, marcmees! The real story behind the title was that Calvinball introduced me to Streetlight Manifesto, in particular their song "Watch It Crash". And then we just liked it as a title, nice to hear that you found it to be fitting. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku
