U-Bahn with Fillomino enclosures #1 (8x8 intro puzzle)
(Published on 6. November 2024, 15:45 by Jesper)
Rules
U-Bahn: draw a totally connected loop network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends. A clue outside the grid indicates how many times the corresponding line shape (i.e. a cross, branch, straight line, or turn) appears in the corresponding row or column, irrespective of the line shape's rotation.
Fillomino enclosures: a vertex with a number clue N is enclosed by the U-Bahn network. The size of the enclosure is N (i.e. it contains a total of N vertices). An enclosure may contain 0, 1 or multiple clues. Two different orthogonally adjacent enclosures may not have the same size.
Example
Penpa+: Example (7x7)
Sudokupad: Example (7x7)
Note: The example is not as easy as puzzle #1, but considerably easier than puzzles #2 and #3
U-Bahn with Fillomino enclosures #1 (8x8):
Penpa+: U-Bahn with Fillomino enclosures #1 (8x8)
SudokuPad: U-Bahn with Fillomino enclosures #1 (8x8)
Solution code: The main diagonals from top left to bottom right, then from top right to bottom left. For each vertex, enter the size of its enclosure, or X if outside the U-Bahn network. For the example, the code would be: 28181X448872

Awesome idea and execution! I found it easy to make false assumptions at the end, but it wasn't too hard to backtrack. I like how U-Bahn's lack of dead ends makes this very intuitive
