Circles In The Sudoku Fog

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE *** It's Oddlyeven's birthday so we thought it would be nice to tackle a puzzle of his that has been recommended to us! Circles In The Mist is a just beautiful fog-of-war sudoku - not too difficult but with gorgeous logic throughout. Thank you for giving us a present, even though it's your birthday Oddlyeven!! Play the puzzle at the link below: https://sudokupad.app/zdmnz4qx5m Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow's circle. Arrows do not branch, cross or share cells (including circles) with other arrows. A digit in a circle gives how many times that digit appears in circles. Arrow circles count as circles for this rule. The grid is partially covered in fog. Entering a correct digit in the grid will clear the fog around that digit. No guessing is required. *** THE LORD OF THE RINGS SUDOKU HUNT RELEASED ON 1 JUNE *** We've just launched the sudoku event of the summer!
