Nexus [Fog of War Sudoku]

(Published on 6. March 2023, 02:14 by wisty)

This is a Fog of War puzzle, so there is currently not a print-friendly version. I value accessibility, so this will not be the norm for me, but I do appreciate how Fog of War allows for unique telegraphing and rewarding deductions with obscured information!

• Normal sudoku rules apply.

• Normal fog of war rules apply: some cells are hidden by fog, which is uncovered by correctly placing nearby digits.

• Normal parity rules apply: Cells with a grey square are even. Cells with a grey circle are odd. Cells with a white dot between them are consecutive.

• Normal killer sudoku rules do NOT apply. Cages in the grid are either killer cages, look-and-say cages, or both.

• In killer cages, digits do not repeat and must sum to the indicated total.

• In look-and-say cages, digits may repeat, and the indicated total is read in two parts, first a count of how many times a digit appears in the cage, followed by the digit being counted.

• No cage takes up a full 2x2 region of cells, and each cage has exactly one marked cage total (which is not necessarily in the top left corner of a cage).

Thank you everyone who tested this, and thank you zetamath for organizing the Fog of War challenge. This was so much fun! :)

enjoyed deducing the cage paths through the fog. though i got stuck for quite a while trying to uncover the last bit of fog. eventually discovered that all my colouring was distracting me from the real next step!

Loved this! Particularly the moment I revealed *those* two hidden cage totals.

Incredible break in! Excellent use of fog.

For me, the late game (once the grid is mostly revealed) was a little lackluster
