How to Play Killer Sudoku

Killer Sudoku combines standard Sudoku rules with "cages" — groups of 2–5 cells outlined with dashed lines. The small number in each cage's corner is the sum of all digits in that cage. No digit may repeat within a cage.

Standard Sudoku rules  Digits 1–9 appear once in each row, column, and 3×3 box.
Cage sums  The digits in each cage must add up to the clue shown.
No cage repeats  A digit cannot appear more than once within a single cage.
No given digits  The grid starts completely empty — cages are your only clues.

Killer Sudoku Strategy

Start with forced cages
A 2-cell cage summing to 3 can only be {1,2}. A 2-cell cage summing to 17 can only be {8,9}. Find all such forced cages first.
Use the 45 rule
Every row, column, and box sums to exactly 45. If you know all cage portions in a row except one cell, subtract from 45 to find the missing digit.
