Normal Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column and 3x3 box once each.

Nurikabe: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and no 2x2 region is entirely shaded. Some cells have given clues in the form of letters, where each unique letter corresponds to a different digit. Clued cells are unshaded, and every orthogonally connected island of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the island. Digits can't repeat in an island.

Ambiguous Cages: Cages aren't fully given, but instead their values are, which must always be at the top left corner of the cage (left-most cell of the cage in the highest row reached by the cage). All cells of a cage must be in the same Nurikabe island. A cell can't be claimed by multiple cages at once. The size and composition of cages may be determined by the solver. Additionally, there are 4 types of cages in this puzzle. Cages with the same given value must be of different types.

• Killer Cages: Digits in a killer cage sum to the value given in the top left corner.
• Suspect Cages: The sum of the digits in a suspect cage must be 1 away from the value given in the top left corner.
• Framed Cages: The sum of the digits in a framed cage must be 2 away from the value given in the top left corner.
• Innocent Cages: The sum of the digits in an innocent cage must be at least 10 away from the value given in the top left corner.
