Colorguru Chaos Deconstruction: Kropkis
(Published on 9. July 2022, 21:28 by crispy16)
This is the 4th puzzle in the Colorguru Chaos Deconstruction series, again in a small 9x9 grid. You can find the earlier entries in the series in my list of puzzles here
Rules:
Some cells in the grid have been colored. The given cells are also labelled with a letter representing the color: b - blue, g - green, p - purple, r - red, y - yellow
Using those 5 colors, color some more cells in the grid to satisfy the following conditions:
Every colored cell must belong to a Block. A Block consists of 1 to 5 orthogonally connected cells of the same color. Blocks of the same color OR SIZE cannot touch orthogonally or diagonally. NOTE: the size restriction here is new and different from previous puzzles in the series.
Every Block belongs to a Region. A Region consists of 2 or more orthogonally connected Blocks. Blocks within a Region cannot be the same color or size.
Regions may not touch orthogonally. Regions that touch diagonally have at most one color in common.
Cells separated by a white dot must be colored with different colors, and the sizes of their Blocks must be consecutive.
Cells separated by a black dot must be colored with different colors, and the sizes of their Blocks must be in a 1:2 ratio.

Puzzle:
Solution code: Using the letters for the colors given in the rules, write the colored cells in row 3 then column 5, ignoring uncolored cells. (One letter for each colored cell, so a sequence of 2 blue cells followed by 1 red and 3 yellow cells would be "bbryyy")

Super fun as always! This one felt a bit more approachable than the others in the series.
