Some Primes Somedoku
This is somedoku #9. Check out the rest of the puzzles in the somedoku series.
I wanted to jump into the unique prime cages trend, but I’m obviously going to do it somedoku style. I’ve estimated 3 star for difficulty but if this is your first somedoku you might find it closer to 4.
Rules:
Somedoku: Fill each cell with a digit from 1-9. For every row 'n' and column 'n' there are exactly 'n' different digits. The remaining cells are filled with repeats.
Kropki: Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive and cells separated by a black dot are in a 1 to 2 ratio.
Unique Prime Cages: The digits in each cage sum to a prime number but no two cages sum to the same prime. Digits in a cage MAY repeat.
For your convenience, the prime numbers from 1 to 100 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.

Thank you for this enjoyable puzzle, blackjackfitz! For me, it was rather approachable in the first phase. Then I slowed down a little (often noticing I had missed "simple somedoku"). So overall, I think it is a fair 3 stars difficulty when you are familiar with the constraints. It was really neat how every step layed the ground for the next one. A very lovely puzzle!

This is exactly the kind of puzzle I love - it starts out seeming impossible but after a little bit of thought you can slowly peel back each logical layer until you reach the center. Really nice construction and I’d recommend trying it even if it seems a bit intimidating at first.

Stunning construction and very surprising that you've found such an elegant layout that works so perfectly! Great puzzle :)

Good fun. Quite a bit easier than I expected, possible cage totals were extremely restricted.
