Nuri-Maze 2
(Published on 11. January 2026, 03:28 by mellowrobinson)
- The grid is divided into tiles. Shade some tiles so that each tile is entirely shaded or unshaded, and no 2x2 square is entirely shaded or unshaded.
- Tiles containing a clue cannot be shaded.
- Unshaded tiles are all orthogonally connected, and form the pathways of a maze, where shaded tiles are the walls. The maze may have branches and dead ends, but it never loops.
- There is exactly one path from S to G which doesn't require backtracking, and must pass through every circle but not visit any triangles.

This one is a bit trickier than the first, but I still think it's not that bad. Enjoy!
Check out the rules on puzz.link which include a helpful visual explainer.

Solution code: the number of cells on the path in each of the bottom four rows, separated by dashes (-) e.g. 4-10-3-14

I love the 2-cells-wide tiles in column 4&5, so satisfying to fill them out in a row!

Thanks for the nice puzzle!
I think the rules are still confusing. In your version the maze=the path, but in my understanding, and on puzz.link, the maze=the walls.

Thanks for the comment. What do you think of this?
"Unshaded tiles are all orthogonally connected, and form the pathways of a maze, where shaded tiles are the walls."
I'm trying my best to not cause any conflation of the unshaded cells and the path from S to G; since some unshaded cells are not on the path but still inside the maze as a dead end. I'm open to suggestions, thank you.

Sounds good to me:) And also it's very helpful that you offer the link to puzz.link! Thanks again for your enjoyable puzzles!
