It's time for a controversial genre... Some people love it (those people being me), some people are doubtful, but most just haven't tried it! This is Pentosnake 🐍, a puzzle type that's notoriously very, very difficult to construct, but that doesn't mean they can't be approachable to solve!.

Rules: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. Circles mark the ends of the path. Each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must be exactly five cells in size. Clues cannot be shaded, and contain the letter associated with the pentomino shape of their unshaded area.

Attached below is a guide for the shapes that letters correspond to.
