Caged Connections
(Published on 3. July 2024, 22:12 by brainteaserartisan)
For this puzzle, my objective was to choose a handful of constraints from the numerous possibilities available. I settled on using killer cages, Xs and Vs, and white and black dots. There were a couple of moments during the setting process when I felt a strong desire to add additional constraints for disambiguation. However, I ultimately avoided doing so.
Comments are welcome, but please be kind.
Enjoy!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the clue in the corner.
- Digits separated by an X sum to 10, and digits separated by a V sum to 5.
- Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive, and digits separated by the black dot are in a 1:2 ratio (one digit is double the other).
- Not all Xs, Vs, and dots are necessarily given.
Comments are welcome, but please be kind.
Solution code: Column 9 (9 digits, top to bottom)

Great starting and middle play. The end play was a bit dull.

The 1* difficulty is fair, but it was a very well constructed puzzle. Bravo.
