Good Ol' Irregular Squishy Fog
(Published on 21. June 2024, 20:02 by gdc)
I recently learned how lines can be drawn on top of fog and the first usecase that came to mind was foggy squishdoku (obviously). Thanks to the CtC discord for testing and feedback. Hope you enjoy!
- Irregular Squishdoku: Place one of the digits 1-6 in every empty cell. Digits may not repeat in a row, column or region. If a region border goes through the center of a cell, this cell is part of multiple regions. The cell marked with "X" is a 1-cell region. All other regions contain 6 cells.
- Fog of War: The grid is mostly covered in fog. Placing correct digits reveals clues in the surrounding 3x3 area.
- Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all possible dots are given.
Solution code: Row 5 (5 digits)

This puzzle surprised me, it was simple but not too easy and felt really elegant. I shouldn’t have been surprised though — it did come from gdc. Thanks for the great puzzle!
I even read user fitzie‘s comment and still typed in row 3 for the solution accidentally :)

wow. I was expecting a trivial puzzle, nothing this great. I hope to see this in a full 8x8!
Did anyone try to type in row 3 instead of row 5 for the solution code like I did? :)

This is why this setter is regarded by me as an excellent teacher.

This is the first squishdoku I have successfully completed. They have mystified me for the longest time. Now I feel comfortable tackling another one! Thank you so much for setting this puzzle! :)

Fun 5 minutes, the logic is deeper than you first expect.

My first squish. They're a little trickier than I would expect. Thanks for setting!
