Back to Basics (killer sudoku)
(Published on 18. August 2024, 15:44 by SamuPiano)
Believe it or not, despite me publishing over 30 puzzles here, this is the first fully standard puzzle I've published!
I've been setting a lot recently, but everything I've been setting has been very demanding and requires a lot of brainpower! So, I took a day and just made a pallet cleanser. I hope you enjoy it!
Rules:
Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply.
Killer: Digits may not repeat within a cage and must sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage.

Happy solving!

Solution code: Row 9 of the solution, left to right. (9 digits)

One of the most elegant Break-ins and subsequent neat logics I've seen in an approachable sudoku. Spectacular

Bit tricky, with a couple of restarts but I got most of the logic. Learning new ways to approach all sorts of puzzles and this one was excellent. Thank you.

Struggled a lot longer than I'd like to admit to find the break-in. But I agree with sujoyku. Once the break-in is found it's a smooth and very enjoyable solve.
Thanks for setting!

Thank you for this wonderful killer puzzle, SamuPiano! It took me a bit to understand the break-in. After that, it kept flowing until the very end. Fun and elegant set-up!
