Hello everyone! Today's intro, example and puzzle are all by @ooooooo, I am just posting on his behalf.

Congratulations to @Lesewesen @jonn @Engy @Karen Carpenter @RandomOlive @Yosh @mightcould @Daniel @tuzi @Walker @Ocean/Lightning/Thunder (and anyone else I might have missed - claim your otter!) for guessing today's genre correctly: Tapa! Remember, throughout this August you can earn a bonus otter 🦦 by guessing the genre before the puzzle is posted! 😄

Being as fantastic as it is, Tapa is definitely deserving of its spot as our most showcased genre! This week, the puzzle has been Supersized!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
