Fog Puzzle #3

  • Fog of war
  • Kropki dots
  • Whisper lines
  • Renban lines

The brief

Standard sudoku rules apply: each row, column, and 3x3 box must contain all the digits from 1 to 9.

Fog rules: fog obscures most of the grid. Placing a correct digit in a cell removes the fog from surrounding cells.

Lines in this puzzle do not branch or cross themselves.

Purple lines are renban lines: digit on a renban must be a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.

Green lines are German Whisper lines: cells which are adjacent along a green line must contain digits with a difference of at least 5.

Digits in cells separated by a black dot must have a 1:2 ratio. Digits in cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
