The Fogn is Wrogn
(Published on 1. February 2024, 19:00 by Flinty)
Normal Sudoku rules apply:
1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition.
Broken Fog:
Even a correct digit may not clear the fog!
Fear not, a solved grid will be mist free.
Killer Cages:
The values of the digits in a cage must sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
Kropki Dots:
Digits seperated by white dots are consecutive in value.
Digits seperated by black dots have values in 2:1 ratio.
Special Thanks:

Solution code: All digits from Row 4.

I have no idea how you managed to implement the broken fog, but in any case the puzzle was amazing.

Wow this was really fun! Definitely weird to not have fog clear when you expect, but it resolves quite nicely. Thanks Flinty!

had multiple mini-heart attacks while solving, thinking the digit was incorrect, only to remember the broken fog. Very fun puzzle - thank you so much!

Thanks for the fun puzzle! I love FOW and Broken Fog is an excellent variation on it.

Link seems to be broken

I think there’s an issue with the site/app unfortunately. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Edit: It appears to be working again thankfully.

Very nice, but a bit nerve-racking :)

I typically don't go in for the FOW puzzles, but the broken fog lured me in. I am glad it did, that was very interesting. Well done!

A very enjoyable and smooth puzzle, even though it is slightly nervewrecking when the fog doesn't clear. Thank you!

This was lovely. I like FOW for the instant gratification of a deduction so this was a lovely way to teach me to trust in my ability. The deductions that removed the fog were very clever. Truly loved this.

I would like to have Simon solve this puzzle just to watch him get scared when the fog doesn't clear :)

That was a lot of fun. Love the twist on the fog.

Such a fun idea, and a great way to dissuade cheaters from revealing many of the fog spaces.

That broken fog is unnerving! Really enjoyed this puzzle!

Awesome idea with a great break in and some nice interactions through the solve. Thank you for this one :)
