Wonderful puzzle! Solves very smoothly when you get going. Lovely interactions all over the place with the cages and the diagonals. Interesting how powerful the interactions are between box 5 and the cages it sees. Thank you!

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for solving, and for your kind comment.

Thank you for this wonderful puzzle, Malrog and Twototenth! The solve felt to me that you really have to ask the right questions. I got a bit stuck in the middle, but then noticed that I had missed a "simple" diagonal deduction for quite some time. It was a very enjoyable challenge.

Thank you for your wonderful comment! So glad you enjoyed the solve - those diagonals definitely do some work in this puzzle!
