Around The World In 80 Days: The Fog(g) Sudoku!

You Told Us This Was Puzzle Of The Year... You Might Be Right!

$The Fog And The Phistomefel = Sudoku Genius *** TODAYS PUZZLE *** Oh my goodness tonights sudoku is a Worldie from Rosie called Feeling Rough. One look at the grid will hint at whats going on but figuring out how to actually enter anything is another challenge altogether. This is REALLY REALLY good. Play the puzzle at the links below: https://sudokupad.app/nmzsv3jbx9 Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing a correct digit might clear some of the fog somewhere in the grid. No guessing is required. A digit in a circle indicates roughly how many circles contain that digit i.e. X in a circle indicates that X appears in either X+1 or X-1 circles (but not in exactly X circles). All circles are visible i.e. no circles are hidden behind fog. Orthogonally adjacent circles must have different entropy i.e. a digit from a different set {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, or {7, 8, 9}. Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in the attached circle. ▶ TONIGHTS STREAM & BLUE PRINCE: THE FINALE? ◀ Were streaming The Artisan Of Glimmith again this evening at this link (10pm UK time): https://youtube.com/live/0rBQjvHPpCE You can watch our last Blue Prince stream here: https://youtube.com/live/vzXeRdtV9sQ ▶ ZETAMATHS WORM: OUR BRAND NEW APP ◀ Weve released a brand new collection of sudoku puzzles by Blobz.
