Philip Newman

If you guessed that today's puzzle would be set by Philip, congrats, you avoided being fooled by yesterday's switcharoo! Grab yourself an otter! If you guessed that today's puzzle would be set by Phillip on the other hand...

If you want an otter tomorrow... hm... let's make it a bit harder. What is tomorrow's setter's favorite colo(u)r?

Today's GAPP is a Taj Mahal!

Rules:

Draw straight lines connecting pairs of grid points to form squares (allowing non-orthogonal lines). Squares may only touch at the corners, and all squares must form one connected network. Circles mark the centers of all squares drawn in the grid. A number in a circle represents how many other squares its square shares a corner with.

Note: In order to draw lines in the software, click on a circle and drag to a grid point - the software will draw the entire square at once. (To change a square after it is drawn, just click the circle and drag again.)
