Initial Setter Difficulty: 3/5
Hard to gauge difficulty on this one. I think some folks will breeze through it, and others may struggle.
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Place the digits 1-9 so that they do not repeat in any row, column, or 3x3 box.
Dynamic Fog
In this puzzle, correctly placed digits will reveal that cell only. Some key deductions will uncover more fog. No guessing is required.
Killer Cages
Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner, and digits cannot repeat within a cage.

Hint to Start
The logic is based on min/max leftover values.
Hint at the End
Don't try too hard to sum to 45 - haha.

That was good fun, lots of similar logic on the boxes but it remained fresh.

That was really fun! It had a nice flow and wasn't too tricky. And I seem to have solved the last challenge using the 8 as well lol

Amazing puzzle. For some reason, the break-in was pretty tough for me. But I'm very glad I toughed it out for the treats that came later :)

Very fun puzzle. Thank you, Flinty! I think I made no bad "lucky" deduction, but still did it different than you described. :)
Flinty: Haha. Thank you. And yes, your way is perhaps even easier!! I've updated the puzzle completion message to include it.
