This has some similarity to the //Tapa regional// found at the [Tapa Variations Contest 2013|https://logicmastersindia.com/lmitests/dl.asp?attachmentid=359&view=1], with the following differences: - clues can be shaded - each block must own some clue (thus clueless regions cannot contain blocks) - clues are scattered (cosmetic difference that makes regions with more than 4 clues easier to express) ## [tapa-regional] Puzzles ### @5381 W=4x6&L=(5)2x3(3)3(8)6(1)6x3&LF=z0z1z2z1z3z1z1z2z1z2z2z1z1z1z1z1z1&X=s2s4s4s3s2&SIE=30LUR&G=tapa-regional&A=5381&D=2025-03-29&F=2&T=Signature ### @PinkHoodie W=7x7&L=y5(1)3(4)2y3y1(1)4y4(3)4(3)4(1)2y3(4)3(1)2y3&LF=z4z1z2z2z1z1z2z1z1z1z2z1z1z3z3z2z1z1z2z3z2z1z1z1z3z1&SIE=1RD3RDL1RRUU1RU10UULL8URD4RDLU1RRDDDLLLUUUR10DLU1UURR8UR12LDR1LLUU1LU&G=tapa-regional&A=PinkHoodie&D=2025-03-29&F=2&T=Moving_Out W=16x6&L=(2)7(3)2(2)4(5)3(1)5(1)2(4)3(1)2(6)11(7)4(7)9(7)4(2)10(1)1(6)2(1)5(2)4y7y2(2)1(2)2&LF=z1z4z2z1z1z1z1z1z1z2z2z1z2z2z1z1z2z1z2z1z1z2z1z1z1z2z1z2z1z1z1z3z1z2z1z1z1z1z2z3z1z1z1z1z1z1z1z2z3z1z1z2z2z2z1z1z1z1z1z1z3z2z3z1&SIE=1RD1RR1RUL14UULL7UURR6DLUR5UUULLLDDD6DDDRRRRRRUUU3RDLU10DLUR2UUUUUU12RDLU4LDRU5UUURRRUUU1RRUU11RDLU13RR11LLUU1LUR3LU&G=tapa-regional&A=PinkHoodie&D=2025-03-29&F=3&T=16x6_1 ## Variants ### ´´inner-edge-allowed´´ W=7x7&L=(2)0(1)3(1)3y18(1)9(2)9(1)3(1)3&LF=z0z1z2z3z1z2z1z1z1z1z1z2z4z1z1z1z4z3z3z1z3z4z1z1z1z1z3&SIE=2RDD2RDL6RRDLU4DLURU6RDLUUURDL7R5U4U5ULDR2R1LDRU2DLUR2UUR12LDR1LUU&G=tapa-regional&V=inner-edge-allowed&A=PinkHoodie&D=2025-03-29&F=2&O=Inner_Edge_Allowed&T=Dominer&K=5381 W=5x4&L=(3)3(9)8(2)8&LF=z0z1z2z2z2z1z1z1z1z4z1z1z1z1&SIE=5URD3RDLU3URRULD4URD&G=tapa-regional&V=inner-edge-allowed&A=PinkHoodie&D=2025-03-30&F=2&T=Confer ## Acknowledgements and Changes **2025-03-29** Thanks to @5381 for suggesting/creating [tapa regional], including question marks, for kindly making the rule panels for this puzzle genre, sending a [tapa-regional] puzzle for rollout and for feedback on the implementation! **2025-03-30** ::: Puzzletters Thanks to @PinkHoodie for crafting a 2 classic [Tapa-regional] puzzle as well as 2 ´´inner-edge-allowed´´ variant [Tapa-regional]s for rollout.
