each row and column shows a target sum. fill in the blanks with digits 1–9 so every row and column adds up — satisfied sums turn green. duplicate digits are allowed, and there's no uniqueness rule to fight: any arrangement that hits the sums counts as correct. this one is the game's real puzzle 001. go ahead.
