Weather can be pretty rough sometimes, y'know? ⛈️ Most of the time, precipitation comes in the form of rain🌧️ , snow🌨️ , or hail🧊 . Today, however, you're going to have to contend with raining geometry. Rigid stone blocks🪨 will rain from the sky, and you have to create order from chaos. It'll be fun! Just ditch those umbrellas☂️ and put on your hard hats!👷

Today's Gapp is a Stostone!

Rules: Shade a single group of orthogonally connected cells in each region. A shaded cell in one region cannot share an edge orthogonally with a shaded cell in a different region. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. If all of the shaded groups were to fall straight down without changing shape, they must completely fill the bottom half of the grid.

HINT: That last rule is often the one that takes some thought. I strongly suggest playing around with the example puzzle and pressing the "Drop Blocks" button. While stostone puzzles can often be solved without needing to press "drop blocks" it's a great visual way to see how your blocks are falling currently and what columns/regions still need attention.
