Here are 2 puzzle to scare you to tell you the month of November will be exclusively Fillomino (and variants), at the rate of 1 per day. These are old puzzles (late 2022) and were expected to be use in a speed solving constest with friends. As I don't have friends as the puzzles are of good quality it would be a waste to keep them collecting dust on my pc, so they will be shared gradually. I hope you love Fillomino as mush as I do, and to justify making a post, here is an Aquapelago and a Tren (Ghost). Here are the rules :
Aquapelago : Shade some cells on the board. Some shaded cells may be given.
- Shaded cells cannot be horizontally or vertically adjacent.
- The unshaded cells cannot form a 2x2 square.
- A number indicates the amount of cells in its diagonally connected group of shaded cells.
- All unshaded cells on the board form an orthogonally connected area.
Tren (Ghost) : Place several 1x2 and 1x3 blocks on the board, which don't overlap each other.
- Each number is contained in a block. Blocks may or may not contain a number.
- Horizontally oriented blocks can slide left and right, while vertically oriented blocks can slide up and down. Blocks cannot move outside the grid or through other blocks.
- A number inside a block indicates how many spaces the block can move.
- All empty cells must form an orthogonally connected area.
Rules taken from puzz.link - click for Aquapelago and Tren examples. Tren (Ghost) is not supported so the answer is provided.
Tough puzzles today, and hopefully spooky enough to justify this as a Halloween post.
Aquapelago (medium to hard)
Ghost Tren (hard) (solution)
