Alphabet Soup (Sandwich?)
(Published on 7. July 2021, 15:36 by djorr)
Second puzzle: Cage the Alphabet
Third puzzle: Alphabet Fever
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Numbers outside the grid show the sum of the digits between the 1 and the 9 in that row/column, exclusively.
Variant: Exactly 1 of the digits 1-9 appears on every letter in the 9 boxes. The rest of the 8 digits only appear on 6 of the 9 letters. In other words, the 24 cells that are not occupied by any of the letters must form 3 complete sets of these 8 digits.

Solution code: Row 5 Column 9 (18 digits total)

I think it's safe to say that this is the puzzle I enjoyed the most so far. SPOILER ALERT: I loved how you need to remember the rules at all times. And how thinking about the '6 out of 9' and the 'only digit' rules at the same time is crucial.
Thank you so much for the puzzle.
