Killer sudoku questions

What is killer sudoku?

Killer sudoku is a sudoku variant where the grid is divided into dashed cages, each with a sum. Besides the usual sudoku rules, the digits in each cage must add up to its sum and cannot repeat inside the cage. It is also called sum sudoku or キラーナンプレ in Japan.

Is it free, and are there ads?

Only simple addition. The combination bar under the board lists every way to make the selected cage’s sum and greys out what no longer fits your own digits, so you can focus on the logic.
