@Dandelo
Your rule description is perfect, thank you!

Maybe you could better say:
Whenever a cell has only one adjacent cell in the same region, the numbers in both cells are given outside the grid in the direction of the adjacent cell (in the correct order).
I'm no native speaker, too. Maybe they can improve this.
******I think your description is very good, thank you!

Just confused not knowing where to start at first.The rules are clear.
******Thank you for your feedback, I adopted Dandelo's suggestion.

I only understood the rules by looking at the example. When I've read U-shaped, it took some time to understand, that the edges are U-shaped and not the regions.
