Lohkous is a genre created by Hempuli (known for Baba is You) using an interesting way of defining regions in regdiv genres. I am very much not good at Lokhous myself, but I created these small puzzles to dabble in its logic. Here are the rules :
Draw lines over the dotted lines to divide the board into several blocks.
- Each block must contain exactly one square with one or more numbers on it.
- All lines must be used to divide two regions, there can not be any dead-ends.
- When dividing a block into horizontal segments, each segment must have a length specified by one of the clue numbers. The same applies when dividing the block into vertical segments.
- Each number must be represented at least once by a horizontal or vertical segment in the same block.
- A question mark can replace any number, as long as no number is repeated in that cell.

Today, 2 variants are added : Scattered (Pairs) and Coded.
Scattered Pairs : Each region contains exactly 2 numbers. "Scattered" idea from Dohz.
Coded : Each letter represent a different number. Same letters represent the same number.
Thanks to Kays, Menderbug and Teal for testing and fedback.
