A useful place to start
Count the digits and find an entry with the same length as a grid space. Some entries share a length, so check their crossing digits before committing to a position. After adding an entry, check each crossing against the number bank instead of treating the puzzle as arithmetic.
Make the printed page comfortable
The entries are strings of digits, not calculations. You do not add, multiply or remove zeros. Numbers in the top-left of a square label the starts of entries; the supplied bank contains the digits to place.
About this collection
Each new seed makes a connected layout and a fresh set of digit strings for the selected sheet. The whole bank is checked against its answer before it is made available. Twelve entries provide several crossing decisions. Larger layouts may put the bank on a separate page.
Checking the answers
The filled grid and numbered entry list appear separately. Check the collection ID and seed before comparing answers.
