Cages Of All Sizes (6×6)
(Published on 18. August 2023, 17:28 by Jreg)
Normal 6×6 Sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1-6 once each in every row, column and 2×3 box. Digits in cages cannot repeat. Each cage contains a unique sum of digits.
All cages (!) are connected via a hypothetical "cage thermometer" of sorts: starting at the cage with the lowest total, the solver must be able to draw a single, unbranching, orthogonally moving line, wherein every cage visited by the line would have the sum of one greater than the previous cage. (Such thermometer would, therefore, visit cages totalling to 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 etc. in this exact order.)

Some time ago, I also made two other puzzles with the same ruleset, except in a conventional 9×9 grid. You can try them following these links (redirecting to their respective LMG pages):
