Fillomino

Fill the board so that each orthogonally connected region contains exactly as many cells as its number.

Rules

  • Every numbered region must be orthogonally connected.
  • The size of each region must equal the number written in its cells.
  • Regions with the same number may exist multiple times, but they cannot touch orthogonally.
  • Given cells are locked. The puzzle is solved when every cell is filled and every region is valid.

Tips

  • Start from givens that force a small region, like 1, 2, or 3.
  • If a connected group already has its full size, every orthogonal neighbour must belong to another region.
  • If a group cannot possibly grow to its required size, something inside or next to it is wrong.
