Hmm...?????? (Fog of War 6x6)
(Published on 31. March 2024, 15:50 by KMD)
Hello, Kennet's Dad here. This puzzle has been featured by Sudoku Sleuth. Watch his solve here.
Additionally, I've made much more difficult puzzles with this new line constraint: Try one here. And another.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- The grid is partially covered in fog; placing a correct digit will remove the fog surrounding that digit.
- Box borders divide lines into segments with different sums, where one sum will be double the other.
- Digits in cells joined by a V sum to 5.
I have a YouTube channel where I discuss and analyze literature and poetry. And please consider a free subscription to my novel.
Solution code: row 6, left to right

What a fun puzzle. I misunderstood the rule slightly first, but afte re-reading it, it was a piece of cake to find the opening.

This was a really neat sudoku – Simple and manageable while retaining some really nice logic! Not an easy combination to strike. Thanks!

Took a minute or two look at the red lines to understand the rules, but once I got one digit, made a lot of sense

Rules were a little difficult to understand at first.

This puzzle was very fun! I had a difficult time understanding the ruleset at first, but once I figured it out it was smooth sailing. Thank you!

I don't know why it took me so long to have the rules click, but once they did it was a very enjoyable puzzle! Thanks for sharing!

I liked the deduction in box 2 and 4, felt nice!

I really like the way the rules works. I will say it took me way too long to see how to break in. I then forgot the fact that one is double the other so stared at box 6 very confused.

Fun and interesting constraint. Less difficult to handle when one remembers the size of the grid!

Thank you! I've been calling them "Garden Path Lines" Do try some of my harder puzzles with this ruleset if you get a chance.
