Foggy Virtual Magic
(Published on 11. September 2025, 14:59 by pagedo)
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Each set of 9 coloured cells with the same colour, form a virtual magic square. A magic square is a 3x3 square with the digits 1-9, where all rows, columns and diagonals have the same sum of 15. For each colour, ignore all other cells and collapse the 9 coloured cells down to a 3x3 virtual box. The Grid Box 5 central cell is shared by 2 colour sets of digits.
Digits along a grey Arrow line sum to the digit in the attached circle. Digits may repeat along arrows if allowed by other rules.
Cells joined by an X sum to 10. Cells joined by a V sum to 5.
Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive.
Not all XVs or dots are given.
Parts of the grid are covered in fog. Placing correct digits may clear some fog somewhere in the grid.

Not sure you need the arrow line in box 2, but a fun solve, and a novel constraint.

A delightful take on magic square rules. Took me 10:55 to complete. The image on LMD is rotated by 90 degrees, making it look like the puzzle has greater than signs, but it doesn't affect the solve once you've started on SudokuPad.
pagedo: @Rockon101000 - Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for pointing out the rotated image. Not sure what happened there. Now fixed.

Great way to start the morning! Simple, but flows very smoothly and is a joy to solve. Thanks!

Very nice but a bit tricky at times with the dynamic fog.
