UnCage 1

As promised: no cage can contain the number of its size (e.g. the cage in N5 cannot contain a 5), note the X.

Unfortunately once it was unique it was a bit too easy. I've just created a KiMo which is also too easy, so I'm trying to create a harder one as I don't like putting out two easy puzzles in succession.

UnCage 2 KiMo Windoku X

This one is harder. It is a KiMo so the numbers in the cages are the last digit of the cage sum. It is UnCage so a cage cannot contain the number of its size. It is also Windoku (remember the implied cages) and X.

Nice puzzle. Harder than the 1st one but doesn't require any fishes/chains. I don't have the time to write a walkthrough though. I used a lot of locked candidates to make advancement in the solving process. :idea:
