Foggy Thoughts
(Published on 15. January 2026, 12:05 by Phandor)
This is my third puzzle. I am still learning and hopefully improving in setting. The middle part is more difficult than the start or finish. I hope you enjoy the puzzle regardless.
Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Dynamic Fog will clear only certain cells.
- Odd: Grey circles only contain uneven digits.
- Even: Grey squares only contain even digits.
- Kropki dots: White dots connect consecutive digits.
- German Whisper: Digits on a green line are at least 5 apart from their neighbors.
- Killer Cage: Digits in a cage sum up to the number in the top left corner.
- Maximum Cells: Digits in a maximum cell have to be higher than all of the orthogonal adjacent digits.
- Thermometer: Digits increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end (the bulb does not count towards the rule of the grey circle).
- Renban: Digits along each magenta line must form a set of consecutive digits in any order.
- Diagonals: Digits along the main diagonals have to form a set from 1-9.

I was confused by the thermo bubble. Please note that it is not an odd clue.

2,5* for me. I also stumbled on R6C4.

Very nice, 2 stars about right. Box 5 was tricky.

Amazing puzzle. There is a typo Ciller -> Killer. Maybe add that the fog is dynamic that as it confused me a bit and thought my logic was wrong.
* Thank you for the feedback and corrections.
