Mislabeled Killers

(Published on 27. June 2024, 04:35 by CaptZebraCakes)

I'm very excited to share this puzzle! A two-digit pill represents the sum of another killer cage in the grid (but not the cage the pill is in). It's tricky, but I think there is some great logic throughout. I hope you enjoy. Thank you sujoyku for testing.



Normal sudoku rules apply.

Every cage is a killer cage where digits cannot repeat. The two-digit pill in each cage forms a two-digit number when read from left to right, and this two-digit number represents the sum of a different killer cage (i.e. a two-digit pill value cannot be the sum of the cage that contains that pill.) No two killer cages have the same sum.

UPDATE: For clarification, every pill maps to a unique cage. No two pills have the same value.
