Sudrabble
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Numbers in the top-left corner of cells are killer clues.
- Each killer clue is located in a rectangular killer cage that is either 1-cell-wide or 1-cell-tall, and it gives the sum of the values in that cage.
- A 1-cell-wide killer cage may overlap with a 1-cell-tall killer cage, though cells with killer clues may only be part of one cage.
- Any two orthogonally adjacent caged cells must be part of the same cage.
- Every cage must include a killer clue.
- All caged cells are orthogonally connected.
- Colored cells in the grid modify the values of digits.
- Red cells are 'double word' cells. The digits in a cage with a red cell have their values doubled.
- Blue cells are 'double letter' cells, which double the value of their digits.
- Green cells are 'triple letter' cells, which triple the value of their digits.
- A cage may contain any amount of modifiers, including none. If there is more than one modifier, the letter modifiers apply before the word modifiers.

Rules clarification: All caged cells form a single, orthogonally connected group.
That probably should have been obvious to me based on the Scrabble rules connection, but I read that bullet to mean that no caged cell was isolated. This made the puzzle much more difficult.

I wonder why such a beautiful and approachable puzzle still has so few solutions. It’s an excellent piece of work, and I enjoyed every single moment with it. Thank you so much for setting!
