One-ified Killer
(Published on 4. March 2024, 06:10 by Scojo)
This puzzle was set for the February 2024 CTC discord monthly puzzle prompt of "Just One Thing."
Rules:- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
- One-ifier: Place 9 'One-ifier' cells in the grid so that there is exactly one One-ifier in every row, column, and 3x3 box. Each One-ifier cell must contain a different digit. The value of a One-ifier cell is equal to 1, regardless of the digit it contains.
- Killer: The values of the digits in a cage must sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage, but values may repeat.
Solve in SudokuPad
Solution code: The VALUE of each cell in row 3 from left to right (meaning use 1 instead of the actual digit in the one-ifier cell)

Nice and easy flow - I was confused by the one-ifer instruction until I started evaluating the board, then it became perfectly clear and everything flowed effortlessly.
