Place a number in every cell of the grid such that:
- There is a 9x9 subgrid that forms a valid standard sudoku with a knight constraint;*
- Disregarding the interior 7x7 area of the sudoku subgrid, the rest of the grid (including the 1-cell wide perimeter of the sudoku grid) forms a valid fillomino.**
* the 9 rows, 9 columns and 9 3x3 boxes contain all the digits from 1 to 9 once each. Two cells separated by a knight move in chess cannot contain the same number.
** Standard fillomino rules are as follows: a) Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally-connected cells and enter into each cell the size of its region; b) No two regions of the same size may share an edge.
fun fact: the green 3 and 5 are there only to make the solve humanly possible. Even without these, there is only one solution to the puzzle.
This is my first puzzle, please leave a comment to help me improve!
This puzzle was inspired by "Chaos FilloSudokumino" by Magnus Josefsson (Cracking The Cryptic)
Lösungscode: Row five of the sudoku grid (9 digits) e.g.: "123456789"

This was absolutely nuts, what an underrated gem of a puzzle! I highly recommend this, even if the difficulty is very high.

Very nice puzzle. It is crazy that solves and the logic behind is very interesting.

Pretty darn hard solid logic. You need wits, mine is slow.

I added a mention of the puzzle I took the ruleset from, thank you for the suggestion! (The only difference in ruleset is the knight constraint)

Hi simoons, very nice puzzle! I've seen this ruleset/concept before though (don't remember the name of the puzzle), so I think it's a good idea to reference the original puzzle.
Anyway, you added a nice twist to it, very enjoyable, thanks! :)

I added a link to f-puzzles. It is set with one big region, which is obviously not good for the puzzle. If you have advices on how to do that better, please tell me.
