Fillomino: Cryptic Differences (#1?)
(Eingestellt am 26. September 2022, 17:23 Uhr von Niverio)
Rules:
- Normal Fillomino rules apply. Divide the grid into regions and enter a number in each empty cell, such that:
- Each cell contains a number equal to the number of cells in its region.
- No two regions of the same size share an edge.
- Outside clues indicate the size difference of two orthogonally connected Fillomino regions in their respective row or column, in order (Left to right and top to bottom). The clues are mostly cryptic, and which letter corresponds to which digit must be deduced by the solver. Each letter corresponds to a different digit.
- A "?" represents any single digit number.
- Outside the grid, "..." denotes an arbitrary number of difference clues. This could be zero, one, or multiple.
- For any row or column, either all or no clues are provided.
Below is an example illustration to showcase how the ruleset works in a 5x5 grid, with no ?s and no cryptic clues:
And here is the main puzzle, available on Penpa+. Answer check is enabled for correct number placement, including the cryptic column.
Lösungscode: Row 7, left to right with no spaces.

Very smooth and fun throughout! I'm kind of afraid to dive into that #2 one here xd

It is nice to go back to this first incursion in non-sudoku territory ! A good appetizer for #2, which seems a lot more challenging. Thanks :)

I loved this! Very well done, excellent intro to the ruleset. And although I might not solve it I'm looking forward to the harder version(s) :)
