Heads or Tails?
(Published on 27. July 2022, 15:51 by Xenonetix)
Inspired entirely by RockyRoer's 7x7 version! This one's more of a "Build-Your-Own Irregular Killer" - Good luck!
- Every digit from 1 to 9 appears once in every row, column, and region. 9 regions are to be determined. Every region is a set of 9 orthogonally connected cells.
- Each region is a 9-cell long snake which does not touch itself, including diagonally. These snakes are made up of three parts: 4 cells representing a head, 1 centre cell, and 4 cells making up the tail. Each clue in the grid is part of either a head or tail section and represent the sum of that head or tail section. No section contains more than one clue.

Hope you enjoy playing 😄 - Any feedback and comments welcome!
Solution code: Row 3 (left to right) with dashes for region borders. (e.g. 123-4-56-789)

Took me ages to figure out the start but flowed super well afterwards!

Nice logic to build the regions, a bit trickier in the second half. Smooth chaos solve afterwards. Thanks.
