    Killer Sudoku suggestion

    Would it be possible to implement something similar to Kakuro on the Killer Sudoku levels, where if you click the outline of a cage or the number of the cage sum, you get a list of possible number combinations?

    For example, a 3-box cage of 6 that can all see each other (i.e., sharing a row, column, or 3x3 box grid) can only comprise 1, 2, or 3. While I have some of them memorized, it gets harder with higher sums, bigger cages, or cages that breach multiple 3x3 grids (allowing for repeated numbers within the grid).

    I may be misunderstanding what you are saying, but in a killer sudoku you cannot have repeating numbers in the same cage. It doesn’t matter if the cells wouldn’t see each other in a traditional sudoku, as long as the cells are caged together there can’t be any repeating numbers. So a 3-cell cage that sums to 6 will be 1, 2, and 3 no matter the shape and position of the cage.

    I know this doesn’t resolve your suggestion, but just wanted to share if you weren’t aware.
