Equality Cages 138: Squishdoku

(Published on 2. February 2025, 12:24 by gUBBLOR)

I solved Cold Compress by ThePedallingPianist and I thought it was absolutely brilliant. It inspired me to set my own squishdoku with Equality Cages, and here it is. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 137: Double irregularity
Equality Cages 139: Equally dead and alive

All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots



Rules:
Squishdoku: There are nine 3x3 boxes, which overlap at the dashed lines. Place the digits 1-9 in each box so that no digits repeat in any box, column, or row.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are shown.

XV: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Adjacent cells connected with a V must sum to 5. Not all X's or V's are shown.

This was a delight to solve! It flows very smoothly but not at all in a trivial way, with a lovely balance of squishdoku and equality cages logic :)
