  • Killer cages
  • Cages that add alike

The brief

Happy Birthday, NEWS! ---

  • Normal Sudoku rules apply, i.e. each row, column and 3x3 region has to contain the digits from 1 to 9 once each.
  • Cryptic Clues: Each of the letters N, E, W and S represents a number to be determined by the solver.
  • Killer Cages: Digits in a cage do not repeat and must sum to the clue in the top left.
  • Little Killer: Digits on a marked diagonal must sum to the clue outside the grid. (If there is no conflict with other rules, digits on such a diagonal may repeat.)
