** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
It's rare nowadays for Simon to get to try a 1* rated sudoku but, perhaps unsurprisingly, it's a Michael Lefkowitz puzzle (called "Trace Amounts") that fits the bill! The idea here is that there are "ghost cages" and the solver has to deduce how the killer cages should look. It's so original and utterly enchanting to solve.

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://sudokupad.app/j8w1vml1mn

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid contains a set of non-overlapping cages with the same sum. Digits cannot repeat in a cage. The cages are partially invisible.
