Tea with the Queen

(Published on 29. July 2022, 15:32 by FullDeck-Missing)

Normal sudoku rules apply: every row, column, and box must contain a complete set of the digits 1-9.

Sandwich sums: numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of all cells between 1 and 9 in that row or column, excluding 1 and 9 from the sum.

Fortress cells: Shaded cells are fortress cells and must be larger than all orthogonally adjacent cells.

All possible fortress cells are shown. That is, there is a negative constraint on fortresses and any unshaded cell must be orthogonally adjacent to at least one larger digit.

Try the puzzle on CTC.

Thank you to BremSter for a lovely video solve of this puzzle.

Solution code: Column 5 (from top to bottom) followed by Row 5 (from left to right); 18 digits, no spaces
