Sweeper Cell
A puzzle inspired by Minesweeper, uncovering mines hidden in the fog.
My first time setting a puzzle, happy to be able to give back to the community in a small way - hope you enjoy!
Rules:- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Mines - Cells containing a red circle are mines. Mines must always contain an odd digit, but not all odd digits are mines. Orthogonally adjacent mines must have a difference of at least 4.
- Sweepers - Cells containing green diamonds are sweeper cells. The value of these cells indicate the number of mines located in the 8 adjacent cells.
- Kropki Dots - Cells joined by a white dot must have a difference equal to the number in the dot.
- Dynamic Fog - The grid is partially covered in fog. Correctly placed digits may clear fog on that cell or in other parts of the grid. No guessing is required.
Solution code: Row 9 digits

My 200th solve! What a fun puzzle to reach my next solving milestone. I loved the connection between minesweeper and fog, it created a challenging yet thoughtful puzzle. I recommend anyone to complete this!

I loved it! Very fun. I would love solve to more puzzles from you!
There were moments when I put in a correct digit and the fog stayed on that cell and I kept trying to figure out what I did wrong, so maybe a small suggestion for future dynamic fog?

I thought it was a fun puzzle. We all love our renbans and German whisper lines, but it's always cool to see a new idea.
