Squishdoku 240
(Published on 11. December 2023, 20:42 by Die Hard)
Rules
Normal squishdoku rules apply (ie: place the digits 1 to 9 in the grid so that digits do not repeat in rows, columns, or the 3x3 boxes marked by the lines. Digits on lines exist in multiple boxes). Digits in cages must sum to the cage total. Digits in cages can repeat if otherwise allowed.

Excellent puzzle, and brilliantly set with only the cages!
I came across it on the Puzzle Pusher youtube channel. If you're stuck trying to solve or you'd like a master class in the theory behind squishdoku, check it out. (Title "A trick for solving any squishdoku puzzle")

240 Gun Salutes. Certainly a bucket list puzzle.
Die Hard: Thank you! I am glad the "ah-ha" moment was worth the effort!

Came back to this after first failing miserably, then solving another puzzle that gave me some insight about what I feel is probably the intended break-in. Very clever.

After Peter the Dog's Cage Dive, I felt like I could give this one a try, and I sure did not regret it! The break-in is mind-boggling and the rest of the path is a real treat (I got lost a bit somewhere in the middle, but there was always some trace to be found and followed). Thank you for this puzzle!
Die Hard: Excellent - thanks!

Loved this puzzle! The break-in took a good long while, but I feel like I have a deeper appreciation of how squishdoku works because of it.
Die Hard: Super - glad you enjoyed it. Setting this puzzle in a pure form (with no clues other than killer cages) was a huge challenge.
