Faultline (Filloku #4)
(Published on 12. October 2023, 20:15 by mormagli)
Fillomino: Divide the grid into regions of size 1-9. Regions of the same size may not be adjacent. The digit in each cell is the size of the region it belongs to.
Filloku: Regions of the same size cannot share a row or column.
Arrows: Cells with an arrow indicate how many region borders there are in the direction of each arrow. There is a border any time two adjacent cells belong to different regions.
Cells with multiple arrows count each direction independently
It might be reasonable to start with a warm-up; you can find a 6x6 with this rule set
here
Solution code: digits in row 3, left to right

Sublime puzzle! Not giving up until the end, but yet it felt nicely telegraphed where the next step was going to be.

super hard puzzle for me! had to come back to it multiple times but was very satisfying once it finally all came together.

Q: for cells with multiple arrows, is it the total number of borders in the directions combined? or is each arrow counted individually?
--A: each arrow is counted individually. Do you think there might be a clearer way that I can write that rule?

thanks for such a great journey, to me this puzzle really nicely shows the potential of this ruleset.
I must say, the break in was seriously hard to spot for me and even though it gets much easier after that, the puzzle doesn't forgive any second you become careless
