*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
This puzzle is an approachable (!) sudoku by Ambrose called Spire. It's got some really clever logic in it and yet it is solvable without needing to sweat tears (probably!).

Play the puzzle at the link below:
https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/P4m9MpfD2L

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages, digits must sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Each purple line contains a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits (which can appear in any order).
