In the world today with nft and crypto scams aplenty :bitcoin:
which I'm sure many of us have little trust in, today's GAPP will be something much more comfortable. Invented by Nikoli who always strived for quality hand-crafted puzzles, it's the complete opposite of blockchains... its a Chained Block! ⛓️
Rules: Shade some cells to form orthogonally connected blocks of shaded cells, each belonging to exactly one clue which indicates the size of the block. When blocks meet diagonally they form "chains", wherein no two blocks of the chain have the same shape, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Every block must be part of a chain.
This one can be easily misinterpreted so as always we recommend trying the example! Or at the very least, just glancing at it in the image below 🙂
