Caged In
(Published on 4. September 2024, 21:30 by theasylm)
- Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply.
- Ambiguous Cages: Each cage is either a killer cage or a look-and-say cage. Every row, column, and box contains both types of cages. There are an equal number of both types. Box 2, column 1, and column 6 each only have 1 killer cage in them. Row 6 has only 1 look-and-say cage in it. The 11 cage is a killer cage.
- Killer Cages: Digits cannot repeat in a cage. The digits in a cage sum to the value in the top left.
- Look-and-Say Cages: The number in the top left of the cage is split up into pairs. Each pair should be read as 'there are X Ys in the cage'. For example, if you had a cage that was labeled '1432', there would be one of the digit 4 and three of the digit 2 in the cage.
Solution code: Row 4, left-to-right

@shaft : Each cage is exclusively killer or look-and-say, never both ! If you dont know what box numbers are, maybe you should start by solving easier puzzles and learn a few beginners basics...

I believe the instructions in this puzzle could be a bit more clear
1. I wasn't sure what box 2 was (but now I see that it's the top right box)
2. There is a cage in the solution that qualifies as BOTH a killer AND a look-and-say cage, however the rules specified that cages are EITHER one OR the other.
