German Whispers

It might be tempting to try to solve this using only the green lines, with the pair of odd and pair of even cells to close the deal. But let the odd and even cells remind you: this is a quadro puzzle. The 2x2 rule will help!

There’s a given digit for you, and for you, and for you, and… that’s it! I’m all out of given digits. It should be obvious that the puzzle has the digits 2-9, and–oh! Right. Hmm, the puzzle has all the digits, 1-9, I’m just not sure where that other one went. It’s okay, the puzzle is fine. This is fine.

The Christmas season means red and green everywhere, like holly with berries decking halls. Red and green, red and green. Such contrast! Red like stop, green like go. Red like danger, green like success. Like targeting, but successful. Speaking of contrast, red and green are are also the colors of Parity Lines (odd versus even) and German Whisper lines (high versus low).

German Whispers and Kropki dots, except not all at once. You can see just enough to fill in one cell, after which you’ll be able to see more. This is the third of four puzzles exploring a guided solve path using Fog of War.

What time is it? Four-thirty. It's not late, no. No! It's early, early.
