More Regions in the Fog
(Published on 27. July 2023, 17:24 by Oddlyeven)
Rules: Put the digits 1 to 9 once each in each row column and box.
Doublers: One cell in every row, column and box is a doubler. This cell counts as double its value on the lines. Each of the digits 1 to 9 appears exactly once in a doubler cell.
Region Sum Lines: The sum of the values on a line within a box must be the same for each box that line passes through. If a line passes through a box more than once, each time it passes through counts separately. Lines do not branch or cross and each line crosses at least one box boundary.
Fog of War: The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from surrounding cells.

Lovely puzzle - first one I’ve tried with doublers and I really enjoyed it.

So 3 stars are usually a little bit too hard or a stretch depending on if I get the break in or not! but 2 stars are my comfort zone with no issues this is the right balance! A great starter for someone wanting to try a 3 star. FoW gives the correct intro place, so break ins are easier. I’m did have some false moves where I either forgot to multiply by 2 on a known doubler (I coloured the cell to remind me, it was my own oversight!) my spotted my mistakes quickly partly due to fog helping with the indicator or having gone wrong or from spotting before the fog told me but these mistakes were all middle to late on so very very doable. Loved it. Keep up the great work, I’m looking for 3 stars that I can practise getting better with!

If there is no fog, maybe it can be a fairly ok puzzle...

Really loved it. Thank you!
Very smooth. Only got stuck once, but that was, because I didn't look at the right thing...

Fog is already my favourite genre, but fog combines so well with doublers that this might be my favourite combo as well! Very fun solve which had me stuck for quite a few times.

I have trouble with many 2 star puzzles but like fog puzzles. Very happy I tried and could solve it. Thanks. This was a smooth one, even for me. ;-)
