Cavino Royale (Canal View Nonogram)
(Published on 22. April 2024, 09:23 by PrimeWeasel)
Shade some empty cells dark gray to create a single orthogonally connected canal. Numbered cells cannot be shaded as canals, and canal cells cannot form a 2x2 square anywhere in the grid. Each numbered cell indicates the total number of shaded canal cells connected vertically and horizontally (in a straight line) to that numbered cell.
In addition, each unshaded (i.e, non-canal) region must be colored entirely as a single color selected from red, green, or blue. The clues outside the grid indicate the number of orthogonally connected unshaded cells of the respective color(s) in that row or column, they can not be 0, and contiguous runs of same coloured cells have to be separated by at least one shaded cell. If clues outside the row/column are given, those are all the clues for that row/column, and they appear in the same color order as the unshaded regions in that row/column; rows/columns without clues may have any number of unshaded cells. Unshaded cells of different colors must not touch orthogonally (i.e, they must be separated by at least one canal cell). All numbered cells must be colored along with the other cells in their respective region. There can be different regions of the same color (there seems to be some confusion over this).
Clues are ciphered, where each unique letter stands for a different digit from 1-9.

This is the third Cavino, other can be found here:

Solution code: JAMESBOND and Row 11 using the following characters to depict the shading color: blue = B, red = R, green = G, gray/black = X

Awesome puzzle (and series)! The cipher logic works very well here.

Incredible puzzle, my favorite in the series so far! You've inspired me to revisit this rule set with your creations, thanks again! :D

Beautiful puzzle with a strong finish! The ciphered clues were a lot stronger than I'd expect at first place x)

Nice puzzle!
Zur Klarstellung: Der Kanal kann sich selbst berühren und somit Inseln einschließen, die nicht mit dem Rand verbunden sind.

-What's your poison, Mr Weasel ?
-A Cavino, please. Shaken, not stirred.
Thanks :)

Another great puzzle. Seeing cipher (known elsewhere as "Chiffre") in "Cavino Royale" was quite amusing. :)
