Unfortunately, due to a rapid rise in strange shape prices, we couldn't afford to post a Strange-Shaped Sunday. For now, please enjoy a ✨ Standard-Shaped Sunday ✨. Here's a Honey Dozen on a normal grid.

Rules:
- Place exactly one of the digits 1-9 into every cell. Some digits may already be given.
- Numbers in each region separated by bold borders must form an orthogonally connected chain of strictly increasing consecutive numbers. (In other words, there must be a path from the lowest number in the region to the highest, increasing only by 1 every cell.)
- Adjacent cells must not contain the same number, even across region borders.
- Numbers along each group of cells connected by lines must add to 12.

Interface note: The Kudamono interface uses a "number dial" input mode, and keyboard input may not work as expected. To input a number, click on the target cell, then drag the pointer to the desired number (clockwise for higher numbers, counterclockwise for lower numbers).
