- Killer cages: An area in the grid surrounded by a dashed line is a 'killer cage'. The number in the upper left corner of a cage is the sum of the digits within that cage. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.

Superb!! Having solved DiMono's and Phistomefel's puzzles previously helped with the break-in. Excellent construction of killer cages, I loved how they led to the solution slowly but surely.
