This FOG is a Killer GAS

(Eingestellt am 9. April 2025, 15:23 Uhr von meggen033)

This is my first attempt at making a GAS (Genuinely Approachable Sudoku) puzzle and I figured why not add some fog! Post your times in the comments and let me know if it is truly a GAS or if it's still just a liquid.

Solve with SudokuPad

• Normal Sudoku rules apply.

• The grid is partially covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell. No guessing is required.

• Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.

• A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are given.

Happy Solving and God Bless

22:00 here for someone a bit new to variant sudoku. I missed something obvious about half-way through, but once I noticed it, the rest flowed very smoothly. Great puzzle and thank you for sharing!

GAS indeed, but also very nice one

Over 30 minutes while at work, sneaking in this puzzle :-)

It took me 17:17. Would have been faster, but I miss penciled marked a cell and had to backtrack to find where it was.

Great puzzle and completely approachable.

I agree, this is a GAS! Thank you for all your puzzles.

11:23 for me, and I rated this 1/5 for difficulty as I do most puzzles that take me under 15-20 minutes. I usually do GAS puzzles faster, but I'd call this GAS too. Nice.

I rated this 1/5 difficulty

Great GAS puzzle! It was a nice & approachable solve, and definitely in the right difficulty range (1*).

It was a bit easier than most of your other FoW puzzles (from the various different series), and it had a short/simple ruleset that would be great for beginners to work with.

I typically consider a puzzle to be a 'GAS' if a beginner would be able to successfully solve the puzzle without any assistance (and with no guessing), given they have a basic understanding of classic sudoku & the included variant rules. So they would fall in the 1* or easier 2* difficulty range.

I think 2* puzzles can be a GAS puzzle, depending on why they are 'harder' than a normal 1*. For example, if the logic to resolve a key cell requires several different deductions from multiple different clues, but the individual deductions are straightforward/approachable/easy on their own - then I may consider it 'genuinely approachable' while still being 2* difficulty because of the required logical steps. IIRC, the CTC GAS collections have puzzles included that could be considered 2* difficulty (at least, IMO there were several trickier ones) - and that is partially what I'm basing this off of.

I also think that FoW helps make trickier puzzles 'genuinely approachable', since the solver is forced to look at specific areas of the puzzle that are important. Since there is a narrower area to search, finding the logic (even if slightly harder than a 1*) becomes much easier IMO.

---

Either way, this puzzle definitely falls into that category - and I think several other puzzles from your various FoW series and some of your other easier anti-knight puzzles would also fit into the 'GAS' category (at least the easier ones from those series).

Thanks for sharing!

12:02 for me. I think this is slightly on the harder side of GAS, but still falls within that description. Very fun and well-made, as always!

9:27 for me.... It was only so long ago i remember struggling with variant sudoku and its fun to see how with practice it always gets easier

11:52 for me - I am not a fast solver, but it was a fun GAS!

Nice time of 5:55 hehe - and I think the cage in box 6 is not necessary. Nice puzzle, thanks.

9:25 with temperature and headaches. Definitely a GAS.
Thank you for this lovely puzzle

Coolio!

21:50 to solve. Still somewhat a rookie at sudoku, but this was truly a wonderfully fun solve!

Nice puzzle, I think it works great as GAS.

19:38 and record for slowest comment so far! Even though I am slow I found this puzzle very enjoyable. I love when fog reveals just enough. It felt just right.

Nice fog puzzle - 9:24 for me so probably the one party hat GAS standard?

am 9. April 2025, 17:15 Uhr von haddocksmack
12:01 for me, but I'm usually in the 20-30 minute range for a 1* puzzle. I'd say this is a GAS!
