Foggy Vista
(Published on 7. September 2023, 06:51 by DarthParadox)
Place the digits 1 through 9 once into each row, column, and 3x3 box of the inner 9x9 grid. All colored lines are Renban lines, which must each contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order. Renban lines move orthogonally without branching, and there is only one line of each color.
Digits outside the grid are Skyscraper clues, and indicate the number of buildings that can be seen along that row or column starting from the clue, where each digit within the grid specifies the height of the building in that cell, and shorter buildings cannot be seen behind taller buildings.
The fog will be cleared when a correct digit is placed within the 9x9 grid. Correct skyscraper clues will not clear fog, and the skyscraper clues must be deleted for answer check to work.

I actually think this is a 4-star, personally. The amount of work that goes into getting that first digit is significant. But so very well worth it! I loved this puzzle and found it very original.

Absolutely amazing. Bottom left corner indeed was fun.

...
4 stars?
(I am still awful at estimating my puzzles' difficulty! At least I overestimated this time... --Darth)

I loved this whole puzzle, but the highlight is definitely that fantastic deduction in the bottom left corner :) Such a fun solve!
