All killers are created equal

(Published on 4. November 2022, 17:05 by sujoyku)

My newest puzzle is a killer sudoku with the special feature that all killer cages sum to the same (unknown) total. I was inspired to this kind of Sudoku by puzzles like Secret Cage by Hiss. Who has not yet solved it, should rather quickly catch up. :)

Please write me in the comments how difficult you estimate the puzzle and how you like it. I wish you joyful solving!

- Normal Sudoku rules apply.

- Killer cages: Digits in a killer cage do not repeat. In EACH killer cage the digits sum to the same total which has to be determined by the solver.

- Diagonals: On the marked diagonals digits do not repeat.

- X: Digits joined by an X sum to 10. (Not all X are given.)

- Dots: Digits joined by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. (Not all black dots are given.)

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Very nice puzzle, thank you! When you get your head around it, it's quite easy to get the total, then it flows all very nicely.

Thank you for your kind comment, nunc! I am glad that you enjoyed it. The first part of the solution is intended to be the harder one. After one knows the cage total, the puzzle should break down fairly quickly as a "reward".
Kind regards, sujoyku
