Talking with your Mouth Full
(Published on 13. March 2023, 14:00 by djorr)
Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Numbers outside the grid give the sum of the digits between the 1 and 9 in that row or column.
Cage ambiguity: The cages in the grid are
either killer cages or look-and-say cages (or both). It is up to the solver to determine which cage is which. The definitions are below:
- Killer cages: Digits cannot repeat within a cage and must sum to the number in the top left corner of the cage.
- Look-and-Say cages: Digits CAN repeat in these cages. The number in the top left corner should be read as a look-and-say number and says which digits are in that cage. For example, if a look-and-say cage has the clue "12" then it means there is one 2 in the cage. If it has the clue "33" then it means there are three 3s in the cage.

another day another banger from derektionary. very interesting logic, and I agree with you that the look and say constraint is underrated for the possibilities it might present!
