Cage ambiguity: The cages in the grid are either killer cages or look-and-say cages (or both). It is up to the solver to determine which cage is which. The definitions are below:
- Killer cages: Digits cannot repeat within a cage and must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- Look-and-Say cages: Digits CAN repeat in these cages. The number in the top left corner should be read as a look-and-say number and says which digits are in that cage. For example, if a look-and-say cage has the clue "12" then it means there is one 2 in the cage. If it has the clue "33" then it means there are three 3s in the cage.

Wow, very fun and lovely puzzle! The logical path wasn't so straight-forward but I enjoyed the interactions throughout the solve :)

Thanks Playmaker! I assure you it is a completely logical path, however, it may be tough given the unique ruleset. I hope you enjoy the others :)

This is the first puzzle where I've ever felt somewhat competent; just difficult enough for the beginner to feel like a genius for getting started. The break in is nice, only gets more challenging from there. Lovely puzzle
