Cutting the diamond (Killer sudoku)

(Published on 18. July 2023, 11:32 by sujoyku)

Besides the normal killer sudoku rules, this puzzle features a diagonal constraint and a little renban diamond. In my opinion, the break-in is the hardest part of the puzzle. But feel free to let me know in the comments how you think about it. I wish you happy solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.

- Renban line: The purple line contains a set of consecutive non-repeating digits in any order.

- Diagonal: On the negative main diagonal digits do not repeat.

Solution code: Row 5 followed by Column 5, from left to right resp. from top to bottom (18 digits in total)
