Colorguru Chaos Deconstruction: Palindromes 2
(Published on 23. July 2022, 19:24 by crispy16)
This is a rework of the second Colorguru puzzle, and as such some of the opening logic is very similar. This version is in a smaller grid, and includes an additional restriction on Blocks of the same size not touching diagonally.
Rules:
Some cells in the grid have been colored blue, green, purple, red or yellow. Using those 5 colors, color some more cells in the grid. Every colored cell belongs to a Block, which is 1 to 5 orthogonally connected cells of the same color. Blocks of the same color or size cannot touch orthogonally or diagonally. Every Block belongs to a Region, which is 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.
Grey lines are palindromes. Every cell on a palindrome must be colored, and the sequence of colors along the line must be the same if read from either end.

Puzzle:
Solution code: Using the letters for the colors in the given cells, write the colored cells in row 7 then column 10, 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")

Another incredible addition to this series. I really liked how some of the most beautiful moments from the larger palindromes puzzle showed up in this puzzle, while the length was more approachable in this one.
