Rules
- Standard 6×6 sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 6 appear in every row, column, and 2×3 box. Most rules are standard except for the underlined rule.
- Slow Thermometers: Digits along a thermometer can repeat but cannot decrease as you move from bulb to tip. Thermometers can cross but cannot branch or share cells.
- Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat.
- Length Cages: Each thermometer bulb is in a cage and each cage has exactly one thermometer bulb. The length of each thermometer is equal to the sum of digits in its cage.
-
Fog: Most of the grid is covered with frost. Completely filling out a thermometer and its cage will melt the frost from that thermometer and area around it, revealing additional clues.
All digits can be deduced logically, and no guessing is required.

I prefer the solution code to be given out this way. I never liked having to copy the digits from a column or two of the puzzle.

I prefer solution codes that are granted at the end. Makes it harder to cheat.

Very confusing opening thermo line. Without the confusion it is very easy, but it is easier to get confused.

I rated this 1/5 difficulty.
This was a nice & approachable puzzle that had several great ideas utilizing the fog!
I agree with @BKKGarrett that the solution code being in the completion message is a bit weird/unusual and could be "inconvenient" depending in how/where you solve this puzzle. I typically click out of the completion message w/o reading it, take a screenshot of the solved puzzle (to reference for transcribing solution codes), and then close the tab/app. So after I read the solution code description, I had to reopen/load the website link again & copy from that instead. It really isn't a big deal, but was slightly inconvenient since I wasn't expecting to have to read the message & ended up needing to take a few extra steps. Unlike @BKKGarrett, I didn't need to manually reenter a digit, and was actually able to see the completion message by clicking the verify button.
The puzzle itself was very enjoyable, and the solve path was nice. It took me a minute or so to figure out the break-in thermo shape (the fog made me slightly confused), but once I figured that out the remainder of the solve was smooth. Definitely recommend giving the puzzle a go!
Thanks for sharing

The solution code method requires most people to go back to the puzzle and reload the solution, because most people pay no attention to that message and just hit okay. But then one realizes that reloading doesn't cause that message to reappear. You have to manually reinput one of the digits to make it reappear. A bit inconvenient. Would be perfect if you would just require solution codes similar to other puzzles. I really enjoyed the puzzle! Took me a while to realize the path in box 1.
