LITS

Updated on (created ) — Filed under: List Naoki Inaba Paper Ported Puzzle polyomino shading territory

On the hexagonal grid, this genre becomes SLICY. This variant is sufficiently distinct and well-known to deserve its own page. Also, the variant double is listed separately in PuzzleSquareJP. Finally, see also the variant LOTS!

The original LITS set by Naoki Inaba was kindly transcribed by PinkHoodie.
