6x6 Square Killer Twins
(Published on 18. August 2020, 02:00 by SudokuExplorer)
Normal sudoku rules apply (Each row, column and region contains each of the numbers from 1 to 6).
Rules about Killer Twin Cages:
In a killer twin cage, each digit appears exactly twice within the cage.
Its cage sum is the total of all the digits in the cage.
For example, if a killer twin cage has two 1s, two 2s and two 3s then its cage sum is 1+1+2+2+3+3=12.
In this sudoku, the two cages are killer twin cages with cage sums being square numbers.
Rule about Little Square Killer Clues:
The values (not necessarily distinct) on the diagonal, in the direction of the little arrow, sum to a square number.
You can try this on Penpa-Edit. Have fun solving!
Solution code: Enter the first and last columns (top to bottom).

@Saskia
Your killer cage doesn't sum up to square, it's 18

Nice puzzle. It's good to have some less traditional Sudokus to solve every once in a while. I thought this was easier than the rating indicated, since I had no restarts and didn't take me two hours. That is usually my gauge, number of hours or number of restarts = stars ;-)
