Fill 81 cells in the grid with a digit from 1-9 so that they form 9 orthogonally connected regions. Regions may not be orthogonally adjacent to one another. Digits may not repeat within rows, columns, nor regions.
Clues outside the grid give the sums of all contiguous blocks of digits within their respective row or column. A question mark(?) replaces exactly one such clue. Ellipses(...) replace zero or more clues.

EXAMPLE:
Solution code: row 11 then column 8, digits only

Really fun and smooth puzzle throughout! Particularly enjoyed working out the second half and how row 8 was finally determined x)

Very smooth opening with a ramp-up in difficulty level that makes the endgame very satisfying. I really liked the rule that regions cannot touch one another.

Amazing. Got stuck a couple of times until I realised I was looking in the wrong place for things that were restricted.

Hi, do different clues for a column or row belong to different regions? Or they can beling to same region as well sfter a blank cell/s
> They can belong to the same region, as long as they are separated by at least one empty cell - AFrayedKnot
