Magnetic Cages (cageless killer sudoku)

(Published on 12. August 2022, 18:39 by Al Fresco)

This puzzle was inspired by Phistomefels masterpiece Greedy Cages Sudoku.

Rules

Normal sudoku rules apply.
In the grid there are five hidden, non-overlapping killer cages. It is up to the solver to determine their boundaries. Digits cannot repeat in a cage and sum to the number in the corner of a clue cell.

The digit placed in a clue cell must indicate the size of that killer cage.
The cages are magnetic, therefore digits orthogonally touching a cage must also appear within that cage.

For example a four cell cage summing to 13 could be 1, 2, 4 and 6.
A 4 must go in the green clue cell since the cage is 4 cells large and the red touching cells must be 1s, 2s, 4s and 6s

Good luck and happy puzzling.
