Unfortunately we had no correct guesses for today's genre, so the otters stay with me! 🦦 Remember to come back tomorrow for another chance at freeing the otters!

Today's puzzle is a Satogaeri, and marks the end of an over one-month drought of sliding puzzles. But perhaps it would be fairer to call this an interface puzzle rather than a pencil puzzle, because they are much more comfortable to solve that way!

Rules: Move some circles so that every region contains exactly one circle. A circle may move only in one straight line vertically or horizontally. Circles’ paths may not cross each other, other circles, or other circles’ starting points. Circles containing clues must be moved exactly the indicated number of cells. Circles without a number may move any number of cells, including 0.

Solving note - numberless circles will not automatically grey out when they have reached their destination; clicking on them will achieve this.
