- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- The light blue 3x3 areas contain the digits 1 to 9 exactly once each (Windoku).
- Digits on an arrow must sum to the digit in its circle (Arrows)
- Cells in a cage do not repeat and must sum up to the number in the lop left corner of the cage (Killer).
This is my first Sudoku, I hope you enjoy, and please do tell if the difficulty estimate is inaccurate!
Solution code: Row 2 and Row 7

Thank you for the puzzle. I loved some of the deductions, they were clever.

Very nice puzzle! I think that the difficulty rating might be closer to 3, fwiw.

I'm sure this isnt the best way to do it but you can import any Fpuzzles link into sudokupad just by replacing the "https://f-puzzles.com/?load=" with "https://sudokupad.app/fpuzzles". Sudokupad will read the gibberish from the rest of the link and recreate the puzzle.

Congrats on your first published puzzle! It was a very nice solve, I can't wait to see what you set for us in the future.

@SimiC thank you! I used f-puzzles but the coloring options are limited, and I was hoping there were alternatives that work on tablets. Impressive solve time though!

Very nice puzzle! For me the difficulty was around 2/5, it only took me 12 minutes
About your image question, on f-puzzles there's the "take screenshot" option which will download a jpg or png file of the puzzle. Or you could just take a screenshot too, it works as long as you don't change the image size

Nice puzzle with clever deductions at the end! I think the difficulty is accurate for the average solver :)

Also, I would like to ask more experienced setters what software they use for making an image. I wasn't sure if Sven's Sudokupad on steam supports all the big variants (for setting), because judging from reviews, the android version doesn't.
