Turn cage totals into proven moves
Killer Sudoku becomes clear when every cage is read together with the row, column and box around it. Start with the information that is forced, keep combinations visible, then let a complete unit prove the next step.
01
Three signals, one proof
- 1A cage total tells you which digit combinations can exist.
- 2No digit may repeat inside a cage, so the combination remains precise.
- 3Rows, columns and boxes still total 45, linking local cages to the whole grid.
02
A cage total becomes a safe digit
A two-cell cage totalling 3 has only the digits 1 and 2. When the row already contains 1, the open cage cell is proven to be 2 — no guess is involved.
- 1Read the cage total and its number of cells.
- 2Remove combinations that repeat a digit or conflict with the grid.
- 3Place only the remaining digit the evidence allows.
03
Four levels, one connected method
Each difficulty strengthens one Killer skill. Pick the level that matches your current evidence, then move on when the next technique feels explainable rather than merely familiar.
Easy
- Best for
- Your first cages and calm, verifiable openings.
- Practice focus
- Extreme two- and three-cell combinations.
- Ready to progress when
- You can use cage digits with row and box constraints.
Medium
- Best for
- Solvers comfortable with basic cage combinations.
- Practice focus
- The Rule of 45 across one row, column or box.
- Ready to progress when
- A missing total becomes a useful candidate restriction.
Hard
- Best for
- Players keeping clean candidate combinations.
- Practice focus
- Innies and outies across a useful boundary.
- Ready to progress when
- You can explain an inside or outside remainder.
Expert
- Best for
- Experienced solvers who combine several constraints.
- Practice focus
- Multi-unit totals of 90 and 135.
- Ready to progress when
- You can choose a region with a provable multi-unit remainder.

Killer Sudoku easy
Build certainty from the smallest cages
Easy Killer Sudoku rewards calm reading rather than quick calculation. Extreme cage totals narrow the digits so much that each placement can be checked immediately in its row, column and box.
First safe move
Start with a two-cell cage totalling 3 or 17. Its digit set is fixed before you even look for a placement.
A steady easy-level routine
- 01
Find two-cell cages with totals such as 3, 4, 16 or 17 before looking at larger cages.
- 02
Use the no-repeat rule to turn each possible total into a small set of distinct digits.
- 03
Confirm the forced digit against its row, column and box before moving to the next cage.
Easy
First technique: cage combinations
Extreme sums leave only one digit set. Learning to recognise those combinations gives you reliable opening moves without guessing.

Easy Killer Sudoku: common questions
Where should I look first in an easy Killer Sudoku?
Start with the smallest or most extreme cage totals. A two-cell cage summing to 3 can only contain 1 and 2; a two-cell cage summing to 17 can only contain 8 and 9. These are the clearest first combinations.
Explore Cage combinationsWhy does the no-repeat rule matter so much?
A cage total is not just arithmetic: its digits must also be different. That is why a two-cell cage totalling 10 can be 1+9, 2+8, 3+7 or 4+6, but never 5+5.
Do I need to write every possible combination?
No. Note only combinations that are still useful after checking the row, column and box. On easy grids, extreme totals often become fixed before long candidate lists are needed.
When should I use the rule of 45?
Use it once several cage totals already cover most of a complete row, column or box. At the beginning, forced cages are usually the faster and clearer source of progress.
Is easy Killer Sudoku suitable for beginners?
Yes. It introduces the three core rules—normal Sudoku, cage totals and no repeated cage digit—while the smaller cages offer frequent, verifiable moves.
