Cage Dive

(Published on 11. December 2023, 22:41 by Peter the Dog)

The third in a series of squishdoku puzzles exploring this intriguing new variant, following on from Squishdomefel and A Squish and a Squeeze

How can you ‘squish’ 254 into a cage? And are those two eyes lurking in the deep?!

*Squishdoku: Place digits from 1-9 in every cell so that no digit repeats in any row, column or 3x3 region. The blue lines (bars of the cage) indicate the boundaries of regions, and cells on the bars are simultaneously part of regions on both sides of the line.

*Killer: the number in the top left corner of the cage gives the sum of all the digits in the cage. Digits can repeat in a cage.

*Renban: digits on a purple line are consecutive, in any order.

*Entropic Lines. Orange snorkels are entropic. Every three cells on the line must contain a low digit (1,2,3), a mid digit (4,5,6) and a high digit (7,8,9).

*Kropki Dots: Digits on a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Digits on a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given.

*Bubbles. Blue bubbles are purely decorative!

I particularly enjoyed the challenge of solving this without using the cage!
