This Sudoku's Solve Count Is WILD!

** TODAY'S PUZZLE ** Sometimes we solve a sudoku and think "wow, that would be enjoyed by a LOT of people". Today is such a day. Belamis' puzzle Foggy Regional Constraints is a sequel to a wonderful sudoku from a few days ago but this one incorporates the fog-of-war mechanic beautifully. (As an aside, the solve count for this one is wild after only a day. We wonder if any of the wizards out there could explain to us how our thumbnail could automatically update once a day to show the current solve count?!) Play the puzzle at the link below: https://sudokupad.app/3w7wprj07z Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is partially covered in dynamic fog. Correctly placed digits may remove fog from other cells. Guessing is not required. German Whispers: Along green lines, digits must differ from their neighbours by at least 5. Killer: Digits do not repeat in cages, and sum to the small clue in the top left corner if given. Renban: Purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order. Parity: Along a peach line, adjacent digits must alternate between odd and even. Kropki: Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Each constraint type may contain no repeated digits anywhere in the puzzle. E.g. ALL renban cells must contain no repeated digits, ALL cells connected by a kropki dot must contain no repeated digits etc. ** BLUE PRINCE STREAM ** We're going to be streaming again on Monday evening.
