I'll Cry If I Want To
(Published on 30. March 2023, 16:32 by FullDeck-Missing)
Modular lines: Along modular lines, every set of three consecutive cells has three different remainders when divided by 3.
X-sums: Numbers outside the grid give the sum of the first X digits along that row or column (the "X-sum"), where X is the first digit seen from the direction of the clue.
In addition to any modular lines revealed as the fog lifts, every X-sum forms a hidden modular line at least X cells long starting from the cell closest to the clue.
Kropki pairs: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. ALL blacks dots are given.
Fog: As correct digits are placed, fog will lift, potentially revealing more clues.

It did make me cry on the first attempt, but got it right on the second. Great fun. Thanks, @ FullDeck_Missing :)
