Walker

Here’s a walkthrough for Freddie's Araf: https://youtu.be/6DKFKa-tBFE

After a busy August, the Ottosnake is taking a well-deserved rest 🐍 💤 Right now, they’re taking a nap, curled comfortably around some rocks in the Snake Egg garden. Based on these numbers indicating the largest rocks, we may be able to make a sketch! But make sure not to disturb their slumber…

Rules: Shade some cells to form a non-intersecting path which does not touch itself orthogonally. Circles mark the ends of the path. Exactly one orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells must exist of each size from the range given outside the grid. Cells with numbers cannot be shaded, and represent the size of the area they’re in.

Note: The snake in this genre can touch itself diagonally!

Interface Note: Feel free to mark which unshaded area sizes you’ve found using the numbers at the bottom of the grid! I recommend unshading numbers you’ve found, so that the shading doesn’t interfere with answer check.
