Theme: Capsules
Author/Opus: This is the 331st puzzle from our managing editor Serkan Yürekli.

Digits cannot repeat in any entry (i.e., any group of hexes connected either horizontally or in one of the two diagonal directions, without any black cells separating them). This no repeat rule applies even for unclued entries.
