Hazy Rellik (FOW)
(Published on 21. September 2024, 16:26 by gdc)
A puzzle that combines the rellik constraint by sujoyku with fog. Thanks to the CtC fan discord for testing and feedback. Hope you enjoy!
- Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Fog: The grid is covered in fog. Placing correct digits reveals clues in the surrounding 3x3 area.
- Rellik Cages: Any combination of one or more digits within a Cage CANNOT sum to the value in the top left. Digits may not repeat in a cage.
- Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are given.

Here's my solve of your puzzle. Loved the logic and flow of it!

This is an incredible puzzle! Such perfect control over showing us exactly the right amount of information at each step - nice one!

VERY fun puzzle, and generally quite rapidly flowing start to finish. I got surprisingly stuck for 15 minutes at one point and just couldn't figure out where to look next, but it turns out i had left some errant and incorrect pencil markings which completely threw me off. Once fixed, back to steady flow once more.

This was a fun one! I was stuck for a while at one point, but that was simply caused by a temporary blindness where I somehow completely missed that one digit I already filled in was part of a cage. The Rellik cages I hadn't encountered before, and they were far more interesting than I thought they would be.

Awesome puzzle! That inspired me deeply, I think I will create my own puzzle with that ruleset :)

This is stunning! The way it introduces the logic and then slowly ramps up to take the solver on a journey of discovery is just *chefs kiss* absolutely incredible setting!

It takes a very skilled setter to design a solution path that eases the solver into the puzzle and then gently ramps up the difficulty and complexity. Absolutely beautiful flow, well done!

Thank you for this fun puzzle, gdc! The combination of Rellik cages with FOW is a gorgeous idea.
