Tip of the Iceberg (FOW)

(Eingestellt am 16. September 2023, 17:28 Uhr von gdc)

This is an updated Version of LMD#EUP. The main difference to version 1 is that I reworked some parts of the mid-solve to make the overall solve experience more flowy and less mathsy.

  • Normal sudoku rules apply
  • Fog of war: The grid is covered in fog. Placing correct digits reveals clues in the surrounding 3 by 3 area.
  • Rotational Pairs: If the grid is rotated 180 degrees, the matching cells add to 10 i.e. R2C3+R8C7=10.
  • Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow's circle. All arrows have a single digit total and cannot branch, cross or share a cell with another arrow.

Rules Clarification

Here is an example of "rotational pairs" that add up to 10.

I decided to be very specific with the wording for arrows overlapping/branching etc. Some of those specifics are not necessary for the solve but included to reduce the cognitive load of the puzzle. The following arrow-shapes cannot occur based on those rules.

Nice and simple idea. Well set puzzle. But I don't feel like it is a one star puzzle. I put it as a two star.

Definitely a 1 star puzzle for me. Once the break in is found, the flow is quite smooth

Very fun! After the fog clears it's pretty straight forward, but very fun to think about the rotations. Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, after the last foglift it quickly transitions into a classic. I couldn't avoid that without compromising the minimalism tough :)
