📋 Puzzle Rules for "Chaotic Snakes"
• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• Chaos Construction: The digits 1 to 9 must appear once in every row, column, and region. Regions are to be determined by the solver, and must be a set of nine orthogonally connected cells.
• Each region is a snake that does not branch, and does not touch itself orthogonally. Each given digit belongs in a different snake, and is positioned in the top-left cell for the region.
• Cells separated by a V sum to 5. Cells separated by an X sum to 10.
• V clues always cross a region border, although X clues may not.
• Not all XV clues are given.

The thing I love is most of these puzzles are not brutally hard, they are beautiful and still doable by less experienced solvers.
