"One Of The Best Killers I've Ever Solved"
2,198*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
A "normal" killer sudoku today from Piatato, which has come highly recommended by some brilliant solvers. And... it is an absolutely incredible puzzle. This IS one of the best killer sudokus we've ever seen.
[Those who follow the channel closely will realise that Mark actually attempted this puzzle in a video back in April 2023. Simon didn't realise when he recorded this one (and neither did Mark) so this is a very rare opportunity to see them both attempt the same puzzle!]
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Within each cage, digits cannot repeat and must sum to the small clue in the top-left corner of the cage (if given).
