Hazy connections (Fog of war/Renban/Killer/Kropki pairs)
(Published on 26. November 2022, 20:55 by dumediat)
This is my first attempt at a fog of war puzzle, I hope that you enjoy! Ratings, comments, and feedback are much appreciated. Please feel free to reach out to me on Discord if you have any comments or questions. Please also feel free to try my other puzzles here
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply
- Fog of war: The grid is covered with fog. There are two initial light source that illuminate the darkness and clear the fog. Place correct digits into the cells to get more light (it's OK to put a digit into a cell that is covered by fog).
- Killer: Digits in cages must not repeat, and sum to the small number in the top left corner of the cage.
- Kropki pairs: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive, and digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.
- Renban: Each purple line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.

While I rated this puzzle “easy,” I did struggle a bit! So not easy for me per se. A good level of challenge, thank you.

Wonderful! Break-in was challenging for me (as I was kinda stupid) but the flow afterwards was very rewarding whilst still slightly challenging. The end renban brought it all together very nicely!

Lovely not to difficult and it really was hazy as I did this whilst waiting for dilation eye drops to wear off so it got clearer and clearer the more I progressed. Very smooth solving and now just for the rest of my vision to clear up.

I really like the "Fog of war" mechanic since it really gives a sense of forward momentum and progression. All in all a very fun and approachable puzzle.

Was a lovely fog of war (fow) puzzle, my first in the variant and really loved how it flowed. Not too difficult but had to work a bit to find the deductions. Thank you for sharing it!
>>dumediat: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
