The 4x4 Fog Of War Sudoku

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
ThePedallingPianist's fantastic and imaginative 4x4 Raw Fog Of War sudoku is the sort of puzzle we absolutely love. You need to think about how to approach it and this yields some surprising logic about how to approach it. 10/10!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. ie place the digits 1-4, once each, in every row, column and 2x2 box. Some of the grid is covered by fog. Entering a correct digit will clear the fog from the surrounding cells. There is no need to guess. Digits along a grey line form a palindrome ie the digits along the line must read the same forwards and backwards. Palindromes move orthogonally and NOT diagonally. A digit on a palindrome shows how many times that digit appears on that palindrome.

We released a bonus video this morning in which Simon tackles Jay Dyer's monstrous puzzle Crux - 2hrs 42mins of head-scratching :)
