- Standard Sudoku Rules Apply
- Little Killer Sums
-
A number above or to the right of the grid gives the sum of the digits along the indicated diagonal.
Only one little killer sum is given. The five other little killer sums must be determined using the clues in the colored squares. The sum of the digits in the squares of the same color is equal to the difference between the little killer sums mentioned in one of the colored squares.
For example, the digit in the red square is equal to the difference between 72 and the little killer sum that is marked "B" (above column 9 of the grid).
Similarly, the sum of the four lavender squares is equal to the difference between the little killer sum that is marked "D" (to the right of row 4 of the grid) and the little killer sum that is marked "E" (to the right of row 5). - Solve Online

Add CTC link and make subtraction order explicit.

Very, very good puzzle. It would be nice if you could change the letter order in some of the differences. For example in the yellow squares. It's not A-C but C-A. I would like to see this puzzle on CTC channel.

manushand: @Annunakki, thank you for the compliments and I am so happy you enjoyed the puzzle! I have taken your advice and made the order of subtraction explicit (rather than listing the letters alphabetically). I have also added a link to the puzzle on the CTC app. Thanks again!
