Look-and-Say Killer
(Published on 1. November 2021, 14:00 by djorr)
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply.
The clues are NOT regular variants. Digits may repeat in cages and along indicated diagonals. The numbers should be read as a "look-and-say number". Each number says which digits are in the respective cage or on the respective diagonal. For example, if a cage clue is 1221, this means there is 1 two and 2 ones in the cage. If a diagonal says 33, then there are 3 threes along the diagonal.

Very enjoyable puzzle with a great twist on killer sudoku. I'm fairly new to logic masters so this probably took me longer than a more advanced solver (41 mins). Thank you djorr!
