Rules

Normal sudoku rules apply: fill the grid with digits 1–9 so that no digit repeats in any row, column, or 3×3 box.

The Ten line is marked with Xs to distinguish it from the Palindrome, otherwise all variant clues follow their standard meanings; full descriptions are provided below.

  • Dynamic Fog: The grid is covered with fog; entering correct digits may clear fog elsewhere, and no guessing is required. Any lines or markings continue and connect beneath fog. Unless revealed, no additional clues should be assumed to exist under the fog.
  • Palindrome: Digits along a grey line read the same forwards and backwards.
  • Zipper Line: Along a purple line, pairs of digits equidistant from each end of the line sum to the same value. If the line has an odd number of cells, the centre cell contains that sum. The dot marks the centre of the line.
  • German Whispers: Along a green line, adjacent digits differ by at least 5.
  • Ten Line: A grey line marked with Xs is divided into contiguous segments, the digits in each segment sum to 10. Segments do not overlap and their boundaries are not indicated, solvers must determine them.
  • Entropic Line: Along a peach line, any three adjacent digits must include one low digit {1,2,3}, one medium digit {4,5,6}, and one high digit {7,8,9}.
  • Parity Line: Along a red line, digits must alternate between odd and even.
  • Killer Cages: Digits in a cage must sum to the number shown in the corner.
  • Nabner Line: A yellow line cannot contain two digits anywhere on the line that are consecutive.
  • Don’t Panic!: No guessing is required - you are one hoopy frood.

this one is a LOT harder than the previous ones. the early part is easy, but then ...
well, after much searching, you can find the ONE cell that allows further progress (2), but it only helps a little bit.
