Starlight (FOW Renban Sudoku)
(Published on 26. October 2022, 15:50 by purpl)
Please note that this puzzle uses a beta version of the CtC Webapp, so there could potentially be issues!
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The grid is covered with fog. There are two initial light sources that illuminate the darkness and clear the fog. Put correct digits into the cells to get more light (it's okay to put a digit into a cell that is covered by fog).
Digits on the purple renban lines must form a non-repeating consecutive sequence in any order. Renban lines never intersect or overlap with other renban lines or themselves (there are no self-loops or branches).

Solution code: Row 9 (left to right, 9 digits, no spaces or commas)

Some of the best use of Fog I have yet seen. Remarkably smooth puzzle.

Fantastic puzzle, requiring some fascinating deductions! Boxes 4, 5 and 6 were approachable for me, but breaking into boxes 1, 2 and 3 was quite difficult. I’d be curious to know if the deduction I used to place digits in box 2 was intended, but I’m not sure how to ask without spoilers! Anyhow, beautiful work :)

Quick heads up, if you use a chrome extension like Dark Reader it will reveal the renban lines through the fog and the in app dark mode causes the lighting to look funky. I'm an avid dark mode user but it's probably best to solve this puzzle in light mode

Great puzzle! Some interesting new logic from the fog of war/renban combination.

I was absolutely flying through this then suddenly came to a halt and spent around half an hour on that last part. A lovely puzzle though with some really clever logic!
