Flatfish (Remote Sum Cages)

(Published on 26. September 2026, 17:07 by Oddlyeven)

Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Put the digits 1 to 9 once each into every row, column and box.
Remote Sum Cages: Digits in cages may not repeat and sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage. One total is unknown. Each digit X in a cage points to a second digit Y located X cells away from that digit vertically or horizontally. The digits that are pointed to by a cage must also sum to the total for that cage (these digits may be the same if allowed by Sudoku rules).
