Arrowwords are like crosswords, but the clues are printed inside squares on the grid. Write your answers in the blank squares in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Killer Su-doku is based on the traditional grid and every column, every row and every 3x3 box must contain the digits 1 to 9. But the dotted squares must be filled with numbers that add up to that in the left corner.

The totals given in the areas bounded by bold lines (cages) can be the result of addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. The numbers 1-5 can appear once in every row and column. Note that numbers can be repeated within cages.
