Invisible Cages
(Eingestellt am 5. März 2023, 15:14 Uhr von Ennead)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits.
Digits cannot repeat in a cage and sum to the total in the top-left-most cell of the cage. Each cage visits at least two 3x3 boxes and has an equal number of cells in each box visited.
The cages are invisible.

(If you like this constraint yttrio has constructed an excellent puzzle using the same ruleset. Posted here.
Lösungscode: Column 1 followed by row 6 (18 digits, no spaces)

The solve slowed down considerably somewhere in the middle, but it wasn't too dificult overall. What a lovely puzzle. :)

A very delightful puzzle. It was very hard for me after the initial break-in.
- Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the puzzle. I think it is somewhere between 4/5 and 5/5 for difficulty, but didn't want to put too many people off from trying it!

Changed rules for clarity.

Had to assume that region meant box and top-left-most cell meant left-most cell in the top row of each cage, but flowed very well, lots of fun!
- Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you had fun with the puzzle. I'll edit the rules to make them clearer.
