Benebelte Nachbarschaft (FOW)
(Published on 19. August 2023, 05:25 by Myxo)
This puzzle is largely inspired by Sandra and Nala. It should be a little challenging, but nothing brutal. Since it is a fog of war puzzle, it can only be solved online. Enjoy!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in each row, column and box.
Kropki pairs rules apply. Digits connected by a white dot are consecutive. Digits connected by a black dot are in a ratio of 2:1. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Colored lines in the grid are Renban lines. Digits on a Renban line form a set of non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
All Renban lines in the grid move orthogonally between neighbouring cells, do not branch and do not overlap each other. Each line has a unique color.
The grid is covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell.
Solution code: column 5

So many clever deductions in this one back to back! I’ve rarely had a puzzle make me smile so many times finding each part of the solve path.

This is the quintessential fog of war sudoku imho. Fantastic break-in and phenomenal geometry all throughout! Such a thematic, cohesive, and fun solve.

Excellent fog puzzle, really like how you utilized the mechanic of the fog in here, especially those aha moments in the first half :)

Very hard (at least for me) - possibly at the borderline of my abilities. But there always were tiny little deductions allowing me to edge forward if I kept thinking hard enough. The break-in alone was sensational, no idea how you came up with this!

Took me a couple of hours but loved every second of it. Now off to watch the CtC solve and see how Simon does. And congrats on the feature!

Some really great Eureka moments throughout this puzzle. The renban and fog-of-war constraints almost turn the entire thing into a pencil puzzle as well. Incredibly fun to play.

Absolut großartig! Das ist das beste Fog-Puzzle, das ich bisher gelöst habe. Unglaublich, was man mit Fog und Renban für erfrischende Logik konstruieren kann, besonders Box 9 hat mich fasziniert. Vielen Dank.

amazing FOW puzzle

Excellent puzzle! I felt that the difficulty and joy was consistent throughout the puzzle.
I usually feel that puzzle difficulty is underrated nowadays, but this one felt easier than 4 stars in my opinion. If anyone is put off by that high rating, I encourage you to try it!

Excellent fun! Definitely one of the best FoWs so far for me. Thanks!

Solved this a few days ago when the puzzle was submitted for testing. Very interesting breakin and great use of the fog with a lot of new ideas baked in.

That was great fun! I have to admit I thought I was breaking the puzzle until I realized that I just had missed out on the beautiful logic of the break-in. I completely agree with the comments below: This puzzle makes great use of the FOW element. Thank you for setting and sharing, Myxo!
