Touching Slitherlink with Blackout Tetrominos

(Published on 22. November 2022, 18:14 by KNT)

Draw a closed loop that travels along the edges of cells that does not touch or cross itself. Clues indicate how many times the loop visits the respective cells. In this context, a “visit” is defined as a contiguous section of the loop traveling on the boundary of the cell, including the possibility of just a single corner point; two such sections are considered separate visits if the loop leaves the boundary of the cell between them.

Blacken some cells in the grid such that all blackened cells form tetrominos, and no two tetromino shapes may repeat, including rotations or reflections. Tetrominos may not touch each other, even diagonally. If a cell with a clue is blackened, then that clue is ignored. Every tetromino must be placed outside the loop.

An example with trominos is provided:

Solution code: Row 3, If a cell is blackened, enter the letter corresponding to which tetromino the blackened cell belongs to (L, I, T, S, O), otherwise, enter the valid touching slitherlink clue for the cell.

I was almost going to write a comment, that it is not possible to solve it… but then I finally saw that it actually is possible to solve… very nicely done!

Nice! But it's harder than 2* in my opinion ;)
