Here’s a walkthrough for yesterday’s Penta Touch by Freddie: https://youtu.be/CcMYbrgrEDk

Today’s genre is an L-Labels, my favorite of the four genres starting with "L-" in Eric’s rules dictionary! There are only three colors of clues, but they can interact in a variety of interesting ways. I’d recommend trying the example puzzle to see what kind of deductions are associated with each circle!

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each region must be an L shape with a width of one cell. Black circles must lie at the bend of an L. Grey circles must lie at the end of an L. White circles must lie somewhere in between.
