How To Crack The Sudoku Code

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Marty Sears is a sudoku-making machine. He's making puzzle after brilliant puzzle and many of you have stated (with good reason) that this is your favourite sudoku of 2024 so far. It's called Quad Code and it WILL make you smile. Don't miss this one.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In this puzzle, each digit from 1-9 is represented by a letter from A-I. You must determine which letter represents which digit. When discovered, these can be entered into the orange boxes at the bottom. The 2x2 area surrounding a quad circle must contain all the digits represented by the letters in that circle. The digits along a grey line can be divided into one or more non-overlapping groups of adjacent cells, each of which sums to 10. The digits in a blue or yellow cage must sum to the total in the top left corner. Enter correct digits near the grey fog cells to clear the fog. No guessing is necessary.
