Did Someone Say Fourteen? (Killer Sudoku)

(Published on 14. February 2025, 15:29 by sujoyku)

After my puzzles El Doce and El Trece, I felt the urge to set with 14-cages and today looked like a good time to release it. I like to thank all testers. Special thanks go to Calvinball who tested this and an earlier version of the puzzle, and (as always!) gave me some very useful feedback. I wish you a Happy Valentine’s and joyful solving!

- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.

- Killer cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and must sum to 14.

Here you can solve the puzzle online:

Solution code: Row 4 from left to right (9 digits in total)

That was very cool! Thank you. I discovered more than I bargained for about the make up of the number 14 which led to my “break in”. Hard work for me but hugely enjoyable as the puzzle ended in a flourish.

Kind regards, sujoyku

Well, I don't know if I found "the" breakin, but I cfound "a" breakin and made it all the way. Very nice challenge for my skill level.

Marvellous. This took a little while to notice the break-in but after that it was so smooth. I liked that the first box I pencil marked was the last one to resolve for me too.
