This is obviously similar to Give it the Finger, but I think different enough to be worth posting as well. It's a little easier to get started, especially if you don't notice the intended break-in, but a little harder in the later solve.

The rules:

Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each row, column and box.

Killer Cages: The digits in a cage sum to the value written in the top left of the cage. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Numbered Rooms: Clues outside the grid indicate the digit which has to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction.

Cipher: Each letter represents a different digit from 1-9. The same letter always represents the same digit.

Note: There are cells provided for keeping track of the cipher, but solution check will ignore those cells.
