Select a square and read its cage total.

How it works

Add the cages. Keep the logic.

Fill every row, column, and 3 × 3 box with 1 through 9. Digits inside each dashed cage must also add to its corner total without repeating.

Start with cages that have only a few possible combinations, then let those sums narrow the familiar Sudoku grid. Every published puzzle is uniquely solvable without guessing.

Common questions

Is Killer Sudoku arithmetic-heavy?

Only simple addition is needed. The challenge comes from combining cage totals with ordinary Sudoku logic.

Can a digit repeat inside a cage?

No. Each cage uses distinct digits, even when its cells cross different rows or boxes.
