Killing Me Softly
(Published on 11. July 2022, 14:00 by djorr)
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.

Great Puzzle, had a lot of fun solving it. A lot of fun interactions all across the board. Just can't get stuck looking at one place, need to look all across the board. Fun constraints
