Nurikabe - 3 Secret-Letters
(Published on 20. May 2020, 11:28 by athin)
- Fill in the cells under the following rules.
- You cannot fill in cells containing numbers.
- A number tells the number of continuous white cells. Each area of white cells contains only one number in it and they are separated by black cells.
- The black cells are linked to be a continuous wall.
- Black cells cannot be linked to be 2x2 square or larger.
The standard Nurikabe rules apply.
Solution code: Enter the 3 secret-letters and for every row from top to bottom enter the length of the longest consecutive block of shaded cells. Only use the last digit for two-digits length and use '0' if there is no shaded cell.

You might upload them at the same time, but you could release them later. Maybe every day at 8:00. There is an option for this.
But to me it sounds very strange to call nice puzzles 'spam'.

Hi all, it's all good on my side btw ^^
I just realized a new puzzle may give notifications to many people too and now I know why it's kind of spammy (previously I thought it's just simply adding my puzzle to the collection.) It's also my bad I kinda hesitated to learn more about community rules or so via forum because it's not in English lol.
But anyway, I'll still publish more and make sure to give some days between them :) Thanks a lot for the welcome too!

@rob:
1. I hesitated writing this comment here, but new authors don't seem to have found their way to the forum (yet);
2. I dislike your wording 'YOUR' puzzle lost... it goes for all authors and I didn't mention my own puzzle as well.
@athin: I am sorry that my comment here was misplaced so I have removed it.

Robert, I asked after 5 puzzles in 2 hours , because I was afraid there will be 20 more coming shortly. We had such „incidents“ in the past where people did this for multiple days and it’s not nice for other authors. It wasn’t meant to be impolite and I‘m sorry if it felt like that. There is no rule and
there have been authors publishing two or three puzzles at the same time and it’s totally fine to some extend I think. I really hope it doesn’t stop athin from coming back and publish more. I really enjoyed the Nurikabe and the Masyus yesterday evening.

Oh I agree that having your puzzle lost in the flood can be an issue, I just find it very unfriendly to accuse a single fresh contributer of spamming, when they've done nothing out of the ordinary. Particularly when it's someone posting a few nice classic problems while the flooding problem, if any, has to do with sudokus. *If* there's a problem to be dealt with, the comments of this puzzle are not the place to do that. In that spirit, I won't follow up here (but happy to weigh in on a forum thread).

Just to clarify, I’m not saying the hidden letters are bad - it’s very pretty! - I’m just saying that there’s no need to include them in the solution code.

I'm enjoying your puzzles, please keep posting! And yes people have frequently posted multiple puzzles, I don't see the problem.

@Puzzle_Maestro Ah ok, this is purely just for "additional aesthetic" only actually. Thanks for the feedback!
@Realshaggy Oops, sorry! I saw some people submit multiple puzzles at one time and I thought it's ok. Duly noted, thanks for reminding me!

We appreciate new puzzle setters, but please don't spam puzzles and give the other authors room. Thank you.

To be honest I don't see the point of putting the secret-letters in the solution code: this could cause unnecessary confusion.
