Mr. Kipling's Clones
(Published on 14. January 2024, 18:28 by LeaVulpina)
NOTE: All my puzzles may be used by streamers/sudoku-tubers; gimme a buzz on Discord if you do! :-)
Difficulty: I'm really not sure how to rate this, so I guessed, especially in regards to the break-in. Please let me know if I guessed wrong! :-)
RULES
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The pink and yellow squares are BOTH extra regions AND clones, containing 1-9 once each. The two pink squares are clones, likewise the two yellow squares; a digit placed in a given position in one square must be placed in the same position in it's square's clone.
Digits in killer cages may not repeat, and must sum to the given total.
Digits along arrows must sum to the digit in the arrow's circle.
Solution code: Row 5

Great puzzle. I enjoyed it very much. I would rate it somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for difficulty, so I don't think your guess is far off. The break in could be difficult to deduce if a solver has not seen it done before. (That's all I will say about the break-in lest it spoil the experience for someone else).
Thank you for a most excellent puzzle.
