Come one, come all! Its the first release from the newly formed, totally original, one and only GAPP (Genuinely Approachable Pencil Puzzles)!! 🥳 You may have seen our pilot puzzle in #other-testing-submissions the other day, we're the real deal now :D

I know what some of you may be thinking, "That's awfully similar to that other far more successful outfit with their own fancy channel", and to that i say "No way José!" We bought the rights to the name anyhow. We do gigs, birthday parties for kids, just be sure to book us a few days in advance.

In this standard Tasquare, don your coolest shades and be there or be square 😎
Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a square and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clued cells cannot be shaded, and represent the total size of the shaded squares that share an edge with the clue. If a clue has no number, it must share an edge with at least one shaded square.
On the right-hand side of the image is an example puzzle and its solution, if reading aint your style.

The following times are in beta testing, if they seem unachievable or far too easy thats ok! It wont always be that way, we're the new kids on the block and we need some time to work this all out :>
Fancy yourself a speed demon? Solve under 1:40 for the fastest creature in the animal kingdom, a prize Speedy Sloth 🦥
If you're still quick enough and get below 3:20 you could snag a rather fine Cryptic Crustacean 🦀
But do not fret, everyone's a winner with GAPP! Just by solving the puzzle you can go home with your very own Tasteful Takahe 🐦
