Killer

Killer Sudoku

Killer Sudoku combines Sudoku logic with cage sums. It has strong search interest, but it is harder to make senior-friendly.

Killer variant profile

Rule change
Cages give sum totals while ordinary Sudoku rules still apply.
Senior fit
It needs very readable cage labels and enough space for math notes.
Playable state
Later-stage variant, not a first senior-friendly release.

Why it is later-stage

Killer Sudoku usually needs small cage outlines and sum labels. Those details can become difficult to read unless the board is designed specifically for large print.

It is a good future category, but not the first senior-friendly variant to build.
