The 26-letter puzzle contest is still ongoing at https://logicmastersindia.com/live/?contest=M202607P for a bonus otter 🦦 and some very nice puzzles! Killer is another genre that appears, and fits perfectly into the Mathsy Monday slot.

Rules: Place a number from 1 to N into each cell so that each row and column contains every number from that range with no repeats, where N is the side length of the grid. Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the total given.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 3:00 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 5:30 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Murderous Muscovy Duck 🐦
