Oh dear, it's feeling like a sauna in here... π₯΅ must be because of all those 90 degree angles! Today's puzzle is a Sashigane. For a brief history lesson π§βπ« , the name comes from the Japanese γγγγ meaning "Carpenter's Square" and first appeared in Nikoli in 2011, so get ready to divide, conquer, and produce the finest construction you've ever made!
Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each region must be an L shape with a width of one cell. Arrows must lie at one end of an L and point toward the bend. Circles must lie at the bend of an L, and if one contains a number, the L itβs inside must contain the indicated amount of cells.
