RULES incoming...

Heyawake: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border.

Yajilin: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all of the remaining empty cells. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in a straight line in the indicated direction between the clue and the border of the puzzle (i.e. clues see through each other). You may place shaded cells that do not directly see or interfere with any of the clues.

Akari: Place lights in some cells so that every cell is illuminated. Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a black cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. Clues represent the number of lights in the cells orthogonally adjacent to it.

Shakashaka: Shade a right triangle in some empty cells, each of which occupies exactly half the cell it’s in. Each unshaded area must be rectangular in shape. A number in a cell represents how many of the (up to) four cells orthogonally adjacent to the clue contain triangles.

Snake Egg: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally, but may touch itself diagonally. Circles mark the ends of the path. Exactly one orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must exist of each size from the range given outside the grid (1-6). Cells with numbers cannot be shaded, and represent the size of the area they’re in.
