5's live in Foggy Flats (FOW)
(Published on 27. January 2024, 01:56 by antiknight)
I wanted to create a Fog puzzle with the interesting rule "5's live in Dutch Flats" that is created by Flinty. I really hope you enjoy the puzzle and would appreciate any feedback.
Rules:
1) Normal Sudoku rules apply:
Place the digits 1-9 into each cell of the grid. None of the rows, columns or boldly outlined 3x3 boxes contain repeated digits.
2) Standard Arrows rules apply:
The digits along each arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat along an arrow if permitted by other rules. Arrows don't branch and don't overlap each other.
3) 5's live in Dutch Flats apply:
All 5s in the grid must have a '1' directly above it or a '9' directly below it. It may have both, but it doesn't need both.
4) Standard German Whisper rules apply:
Adjacent digits along each German whisper line must have a difference of at least 5. Lines don't overlap each other.
5) Standard Thermometer rules apply:
Digits along each thermometer must increase starting from the bulb end.
6) Fog of War rules apply:
The grid is partially covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell.

What a phenomenal break-in! Amazing use of the constraint, every bit as worthy as every other entry in that series.

Very nice puzzle. Thank you for setting, and for the tag in the description.

The break-in was pretty easy. I had more problems with breaking in to the 3 top boxes covered in fog. It was a nice bit of logic with the dutch constraint. Nice puzzle.

That was fun! Took a long time for me, but it was always heart-warming to find the next step.
Great work, Antiknight!

I like the Dutch Flats puzzles and this one is very nice. Cool break-in. Thanks for your work.

There is nothing "hard" about this one, but anyone struggling with it needs to realize that (obscure spoiler ...) a full-court press is required, both in terms of the spatial dimensions and the variant dimensions, and that this is a SUDOKU.

Loved it after I realised that there was no between-line rule and that thingie was, in fact, an arrow. And how is your weekend going?

Very nice! I hadn't seen the Dutch Flats constraint before, so I solved a few of Flinty's puzzles first, which helped when I did this one.
