Y'know, while pentominoes are great and all, you've got to appreciate tetrominoes too! The LITS puzzle from Eric Fox was great, but it did feel like there was just something missing...

That's right! The O tetromino! With the whole Famous Five reunited, the quintet TOILS to make themselves known, because they really are SO LIT. Hence, I SLOT them into this Tetro-kinds (or Tetorokainzu), to give them the recognition they truly deserve.

Something else that is SO LIT, is that we have now covered 100 GAPP genres 🥳 ! That IS a LOT of different styles across all sort of categories, so thank you to all the (998!) solvers who have made their way through the puzzles no matter the ruleset. We hope that we have broadened your puzzle horizons at least a little bit.

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of four orthogonally connected cells. A clue represents how many different shapes the regions touching the clue are in, counting rotations and reflections as the same. In particular, a clue does not necessarily give the number of regions surrounding it!

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 3:15 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 7:30 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Tetromino Tinamou 🐦
