cute :) just be mindful that 'X-Sums' is a very different common contraint, with clues outside the grid.

Fun, thanks!
I neglected to use the negative constraint until the very end when I was struggling to disambiguate 1s and 4s, I think it would have been much easier if I had considered that from the start o_o
