Hello.

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Digits inside a cage sum to the number given in the top-left corner of the cage.

Orthogonally adjacent digits inside the same cage must not be consecutive.

Have fun.

Solution code: Row 9, first 6 digits.

I'm a beginner with these types of sudokus, but this felt very approachable. The solve path was clean and satisfying. Thanks!

The only thing i wasn't sure about was that the rules did not explicitly say that numbers do not repeat in cages. OW...

Fair enough...
In my mind these rules have become so standard that unless explicitly stated differently, they are standard. Grts, Jonesy.

I enjoyed the 'short range' scanning that internal non-consecutive rule brought. Thanks!

Cool puzzle! It turns out to be much more approachable once you read (all) the rules. xD
But that is entirely on me. Thank you for the fun challenge, Killer Joe!
