Fog of War Pack Out Now!
Our long requested Fog of War pack is out now! Containing 50 puzzles (30 available now, 20 more releasing over the next few months) by some of the keenest minds and cleverest constructors there are. The sheer variety of uses of fog in this pack will amaze you.

In Fog Sudoku, some (or even all) of the grid is covered in a fog to begin with – and placing correct digits then clears some of the fog, allowing further clues to emerge.

This pack is designed for all skill levels, with beginner and intermediate players being able to solve a large percentage of the puzzles. Enjoy!

Fog of War - All Sums Given (#17)

I got a problem early on and had to seek help in the hints. The hint (#2) says that the R6R7 cage must be 9-cell long and its sum cell is in R5C7... But what about it being 8-cell with sum in R5C6? Or 9-cell but with sum in R4C6? Do the rules somehow exclude it? If so, I don't see how (the cage lines don't indicate in which direction it goes). Or is it due to the fact that without that R5C7 the cage sum can is impossible to deduce and the solve stops there as no more cells are revealed? (At leat that's how...

V/X Puzzles and Fog

With the way the logic works, is it expecting me to know whether something is an X or a V, when only the top bit is revealed?

Fog of War - Nazca (#7)

The custom rule isn't defined, although I assume it is something along the lines of, 'arrow sums are 1 cell'. Otherwise I don't see a way to start the puzzle.

Witch's Closet (holiday #6) - is there really a unique solution?

I get the sense that there is only one possible position for 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s . But is there really only one possible position for 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s ? Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't the following possible? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357772543 Perhaps it's too late at night and I've made an obvious mistake, or is there some constraint I'm misunderstanding?...

Lines puzzle #89 "Purple Rain" Hint 7

I believe hint 7 should say that R2C6 should be "45", not "35".

I really like it. A lot of clever variations on Sudoku. I'm currently playing the Fog of War DLC and really enjoying it. You start with a small portion of the puzzle and gain more information about it as you solve.
