Lexicon [Look-and-Say Fillomino]
(Published on 1. August 2023, 00:11 by MicroStudy)
Rules
- Fillomino: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally-connected cells such that no two regions of the same size share an edge. Enter a number into each cell equal to the size of its region.
- Look-and-Say Cages: Digits can repeat in cages. The number in the top left corner should be read as a look-and-say number and says which digits are in that cage. For example, if a cage has the clue '12' then it means there is one 2 in the cage. If it has the clue '3314' then it means there are three 3s and one 4 in the cage.

I don't always partake in the puzzles featured on CtC but as soon as they had the opening, I had to turn off the video and give it a go myself and I'm glad I did. This was such a joy to solve, thank you so much!

How are you so good at this. I swear every fillo of yours is exactly what I'm in the mood for at exactly whatever random moment I decide to pick one up. They're so aesthetically pleasing and a very natural difficulty and progression too, despite somehow using so many wildly different kinds of constraints

Very fun and clever puzzle!
It does immediately break though... there's no way to get 4 unique digits to sum to 13,161,718. :P

You actually took my suggestion and made a fancy (and very fun) puzzle out of it, I'm proud of you there :^
