Claude's Hidden Fever
(Published on 23. December 2022, 14:27 by kinnison)
Rules:
- Normal 9x9 Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits along thermometers must strictly increase from the bulb toward the tip. All thermometers are linear (they do not branch) and independent (they do not cross).
- The amber lines are 'entropic lines'. Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low digit (1-3), a middle digit (4-6), and a high digit (7-9). Digits may repeat on a line, if allowed by other rules.
- More of the grid will reveal itself when you place correct digits. Please do not speculatively insert digits, only place ones you are sure of.
Grid:
Where to play:
Solution code: Row one, left to right, and column 8 top to bottom, as a sequence of 18 digits.

i enjoyed this (the more so having made a mistake at the first attempt). The fog helped me focus on what was two inches in front of my nose (your visibility may vary).

Sehr hübsch gemacht.

The fog hides the fact that the puzzle is trivial without it.

I like the Fog of War puzzles! Maybe not as much as Simon does. Really smooth solve with a few "ah, that's clever" moments :)

Very nice. Really enjoy the Fog of War variant.

Very original concept. It unfolds nicely, giving you just what you need for the next digit.
