Pentomino Yajilin
(Published on 31. May 2024, 20:24 by KNT)
Every unvisited cell besides those that contain clues must form pentominos - areas of exactly five orthogonally connected empty cells. No pentomino shape may repeat, including rotations and reflections, and they must not touch each other, not even diagonally. Not all of the 12 possible pentomino shapes must be used.
A clue specifies the number of cells belonging to pentominos in the indicated direction.
An example with tetrominos is provided:
Solution code: For each row from top to bottom, the number of times the loop turns. X if greater or equal to 10.

Sensationnal puzzle, I found the hybrid ruleset very elegant and I learnt a lot about yajilin and loops

Greatly enjoyed this, especially how many times I had to change my thinking along the way. As the other comments said, the finale is really strong, a fun combination of big thinking and paying attention to detail. Thanks for making this!

Easy if you find or guess the break-in. From there, progress is nice and the ending is good.

Wonderful puzzle, a very nice variety of logic used!

Very nice once I understood the rules correctly. For future solvers, the rule "Not all of the 12 possible pentomino shapes must be used." must be read as "Not all of the 12 possible pentomino shapes must necessarily be used."
Enjoyed the ending very much too. Thanks :)

Cool hybrid, interesting how the ending works.

I haven't solved a yajilin puzzle in years (since I'm not overly attached to yajilin in general) but this was so much fun!
There was one point near the end that took me a long while to understand but I eventually did so, and that ending afterwards was just wonderful *chef's kiss* x)
