Bonus Edition: Rise Up (Killer + Arrow)

(Published on 12. February 2025, 03:00 by Playmaker6174)

Here's another bonus edition of myself with one of my favorite combos of rules, and this one actually appeared on the recent edition of Artisanal Sudoku blog by my friend James Sinclair as a special gift; I can highly recommend that blog if you want more entertaining and cool sudoku puzzles in every week.
In a sense, this has many resemblances to my older puzzle High Impact in terms of setting.


I initially put this one as around 2.5 - 3 stars difficulty range and from what I saw, this one should remain approachable throughout the solve here. I hope you enjoy the puzzle! :)



Rules:

- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.

- Within a cage, digits don't repeat and they sum to the small number written at the top left of that cage.

- Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow. Digits can repeat along an arrow if allowed by other rules.



Puzzle:F-puzzle  -  Penpa plus  -  Sudokupad



Good luck and have fun solving!

Solution code: Enter row 2 from left to right, 9 digits long

I saw this on James' site a little while ago and cleared out the solution just to solve it again. Very clean setting. Thanks for sharing.

I usually do not enjoy Killer Sudokus that much, but this one flowed nicely and was suprisingly fun!

Pure elegance! Felt like a clean and very fun 1 star to me.

To me it felt easier than 2*. Loved it very much. Thank you!

Really great puzzle with satisfying deductions! I think 2.5* is fair, as the logic felt easily doable, but not obvious.
