Fillomino: Cryptic Differences #2
(Eingestellt am 1. Oktober 2022, 17:49 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. A "??" represents any double digit number.
- Some outside clues are given as either "Even" or "Odd". These clues give the parity of the corresponding fillomino size difference.
- 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 2, left to right with no spaces.

A very long yet very delightful and lovely journey throughout!
I believe that you've exhausted pretty much every single trick that could be used with this rule set in this puzzle, and there're so many great aha moments too (including the start and the finish). Also, I really liked that one given clue being used in the mid solve there x)

Awesome ! I liked the way the puzzle exploited the ciphering and then shifted to a different kind of logic ! Loved it all the way, thanks !!!

100% rating - well deserved. It was a constant flow solving. Flow as Magnus wrote, the logic flows through a perfectly-designed puzzle, and also the feeling was a continuous flow state. Thank you very much for this ride and I would be thrilled and delighted to see more of this kind of puzzle.

A tightrope with perniciousness and brilliance on either ends.

Terrific! I really enjoyed working out the opening logic! Afterwards I had some trouble here and there due to my lack of experience with fillominos, but I had a lot of fun regardless. :-)

Fantastic! The beginning was a bit of a workout, but then it flows beautifully with creative lovely logic all the way to the end.

Was proud to be one of the first solves of the 3 star version but this one is about to be a bit tougher I bet... Hopefully I'll get it though! About to try.
~ Good luck! If you ever get stuck you can always reach out to me via a hidden comment or through discord (Niverio#8958) and I will try to help you out!
