(Published on 9. May 2024, 00:12 by Thymalfasin)
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
Killer Cages: Cells within dashed-line cages must sum to the indicated value in the top left corner of the cage.
Kropki Dots: Black dots between cells indicate that those cells must be in a 2:1 ratio. All dots are given.
X and V: Cells seperated by an X must sum to 10. Cells seperated by a V must sum to 5. All Xs and Vs are given.
Renban Lines: Digits on a purple Renban line must be a set of consecutive non-repeating digits, not necessarily in order.
Whispers Lines: Neighbouring digits along a green Whispers line must have a difference if at least 5.
Fog of War: The grid is covered in fog, placing a correct digit will clear the fog around that cell.
Solution code: Row 1

Very nice flow. Once it starts! ;)

The break in was one of the most satisfying I’ve done! The rest of the puzzle flowed very quick and easy. The whole puzzle took me 16 minutes, and I think the first 10 were just the break in. Very fun to figure it out.

Removed the “easy” warning

when it is a 1-star puzzle you dont need to warn that it is easy

The break-in was very satisfying, but I think it was just a bit too generous on the clues once you start clearing through the fog.
Very nice introduction as you said for very new people.

A very nice puzzle. I got stuck at the end until I remembered that all black dots were given.

No need for the "exceptionally easy". No beginner can do the break in I guess. To me, a commonly difficult nice one star puzzle.

Loved the break in!
@Ol_Jay the solution is unique. A rule applies only once, exactly to resolve the deadlock.

@vlin: Thank you very much, I totally overread this info, because most of the time it's "not all are given" :) My mistake was that I thought not all kropki dots are given. :)
For me the break in wasn't easy either; and I'm not a total noob ;) The solution path is very smooth then.
But I find there is more than one solution, maybe I fail to see something? From my point of view row 3, 6 and 9 can switch the first two digits. Could you please check?

Agree with first comment about break in being tricky but then a lovely solve path

Not "exceptionally easy" for me. Struggled a bit with break in. But certainly after that, it flowed smoothly and easily. Thanks for the fun puzzle.
