The Flowery Graces of Spring
(Published on 8. August 2025, 18:01 by ViKingPrime)
PUZZLE:
RULES:
Normal SUDOKU rules apply.
White KROPKI dots separate two cells of consecutive value; Black Kropki dots separate two cells where one is double the value of the other [1:2].
Cells along a pink RENBAN line form a set of consecutive, non-repeating values in any order.
Cells along a green GERMAN WHISPER line must differ in value by at least five [5].
Place BLITHE cells into the grid so that there is exactly one Blithe cell in each row, column and box; each Blithe cell must contain a different digit and the value of a Blithe cell is either its row or column number (counted top-to-bottom, left-to-right), regardless of the digit contained.
The value of cells within a KILLER cage must sum to the number in the top-left corner (if given).
The grid is partially covered in FOG; placing correct digits will clear the fog from the surrounding area.
Digits at the bottom of the grid have been provided for tracking purposes.

Awesome puzzle. Easy to go wrong, but the fog helps keep you honest!

Very nice and approachable addition to the series. Also loving this new modifier rule.
