Tyrgannus

WHOA! That's a bit bigger than expected, right? Well, buckle your seatbelts because today is

S U P E R S I Z E D S A T U R D A Y

Every Saturday going forward, the puzzle will be a bit bigger than normal but should still be genuinely approachable in difficulty. Big does not mean hard 😉 . And what genre was chosen for something so huge, so mammoth 🦣 , so...cavernous? Well, put on your headlamps because we're going spelunking!

Today's GAPP is a Cave!

Every supersized puzzle will be a genre we have previously covered in GAPP, but this doesn't mean all repeated genres will be supersized! Don't worry, we're bound to have normal sized repeated genres in the future as well! We found it best to only have big puzzles in genres that have been covered. That way we can link previous GAPPs for a refresher course 😁 !

Rules: Shade some cells so that the shaded cells are all connected orthogonally by other shaded cells to the edge of the grid, and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including itself.

Feel free have a refresher with Shye's Cave here including that wonderful hint she gave! Archive: Saturday, 27 November 2021

Furthermore, I made an example puzzle of my own that may highlight certain deductions in today's large puzzle. Here's a link to that example https://tinyurl.com/2p883637
