Here’s a walkthrough for yesterday’s Parrot Loop by Freddie: https://youtu.be/09F_Slqft1Q

From yesterday's many otters, to just one today, for @hunchcat! 🦦 🎉 Keep making guesses!

Today’s genre is a Pentominonogram! Although the ruleset allows for varied shape banks, I’ve continued the precedent set by existing Pentominonogram puzzles by using a shape bank containing only copies of a single pentomino. There’s a puzzle for L, X, V, and now Z, meaning that the quest for a puzzle for each pentomino is 1/3 of the way done!

Rules: Place each shape from the bank given outside the grid into the grid. Rotating and reflecting shapes is allowed. Number clues outside the grid represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive cells which are used by shapes in the corresponding row or column, in order.

Note: Because the shape bank is just copies of a single pentomino, we’ve saved space by displaying just the pentomino and the number of times it appears.
