These are the answers to the Puzzle Page Killer Sudoku for March 7, 2020, puzzle ID 521. The board below is the completed 6×6 grid exactly as it looks in the app once every square is filled .

Killer Sudoku is one of 20 puzzle types published in Puzzle Page, and this date carried 13 puzzles in total — you can see all of them on the March 7, 2020 page. To work through this game date by date, use the full Killer Sudoku archive, or step back to March 3, 2020.

Compare a single row or block against your own grid rather than copying the whole thing, and the rest usually falls into place from the constraints you already have.

Puzzle Page numbers each game separately, so the ID on this page belongs to Killer Sudoku alone — a Sudoku published the same day carries a different one. If the grid here stops matching your screen the app has been updated; say so in the comments and it gets re-checked. Every grid on this site is captured from the finished puzzle rather than copied from another answers site.

What are the Puzzle Page Killer Sudoku answers for March 7, 2020?
They are shown in the completed 6×6 grid above.
What is the puzzle ID for this one?
Puzzle ID 521. Each puzzle type numbers its issues separately, so the same date carries a different ID for every game.
Where are the other puzzles from this date?
On the March 7, 2020 page, which lists all 13 puzzles published that day.
How do I find a different date?
Open the full Killer Sudoku archive, which lists every date we hold grouped by year.
Do digits repeat inside a cage?
No, digits are unique within a cage as well as within rows, columns and boxes.
Is Killer harder than standard Sudoku?
It uses more constraints, but those constraints also give you more to work with.
How many Killer Sudoku answers are in this archive?
1,882 solved Killer Sudoku puzzles across 800 dates, each stored as the completed number grid exactly as the app shows it once the puzzle is finished.
What are the dashed outlines?
They are cages. The digits inside a cage must add to the small number printed in its corner, and no digit repeats within a cage.
Why does Killer Sudoku start with no numbers?
The cage totals carry the information that given digits would in a normal Sudoku. Standard Sudoku rules still apply on top.
Can a digit repeat inside a cage?
No. Within one cage every digit is different, which is what makes the small cages so restrictive.

How Puzzle Page Killer Sudoku Works

Sudoku with cages. Each dashed cage sums to a printed total, and digits never repeat inside a cage.

Tips for Puzzle Page Killer Sudoku

  1. 1

    Learn the fixed combinations: a two-cell cage summing to 3 is always 1+2; 17 is always 8+9.

  2. 2

    Use the rule that each row, column and box sums to 45 — a cage crossing a boundary reveals the leftover.

  3. 3

    Small cages with extreme totals are the best starting points.

  4. 4

    Cage totals constrain candidates before normal Sudoku logic even begins, so work them first.

  5. 5

    Learn the fixed cages: a two-cell cage summing to 3 is 1+2, to 17 is 8+9, and a three-cell cage summing to 6 is 1+2+3. These need no working out.

  6. 6

    Every row, column and box totals 45. If a cage overhangs a box by one cell, that cell equals the cage total minus 45 — a free placement.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page

01

The board is the whole puzzle

Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.

02

Place the longest answer first

Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.

03

Neighbouring levels are the best hint

Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.

How to play

How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level

The order that clears a board fastest.

STEP 01

Read what you are given

Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.

STEP 02

Anchor with the answers you are sure of

Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.

STEP 03

Work outwards

Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.

How we check

Verified Answers, Not Guesses

How we verify these answers

Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.

Reviewed by Priya Raghunathan, Word Games Editor at Puzzle Solved. The full checking routine is in the methodology, and the standards every page is held to are in the editorial policy.
