What a difficult puzzle, but it was rewarding every step of the way! I solved the 6x6, and this masterpiece was suggested to me. Fantastic puzzle!

Thanks for pointing me to this 9x9 after I solved the 6x6. it was definitely worth the ride ! Great puzzle, a new kind of "miracle" sudoku if you ask me...

No problem and thanks for solving! It was fun to expand this idea to a 9x9, and was pleased with how it turned out. Though, I think it might be difficult to come up with another break-in if I wanted to make a second puzzle (at least with just killer cages)

F-Puzzles link was broken, so changed the setter name to #4832 to fix it. Thanks to @Realshaggy for pointing this out on Discord!

@henrypijames @FioH @wisty Thanks for solving and feedback on this! After setting the 6x6 killer with no given totals (discord archive #9429), I wanted to make a 9x9 and I'm glad to hear that it turned out nice!

One of those "looks utterly impossible" puzzles. 4½ difficulty for me and very enjoyable, even though I generally don't like killer sudokus. Simon, who's known to be a big fan of killers, is gonna love this one to death.

Very challenging, but really cool concepts and execution! Thank you so much for the puzzle, it was fun :)

Might still be a 3-4/5, but upgraded the difficulty just in case (only upgraded it for the beginning, the mid-solve might just be a 3)
