It's Supersized Saturday and I'm feeling superdried up'rday on intro ideas. I turned to ChatGPT but we all know how well that goes. Sigh...

Hey Puzzlers, brace yourselves for the Tasquare Tango! Today's puzzle is a real square dance where shaded cells team up to create perfect squares, but no need for fancy footwork – just sharp logic! It's like trying to organize a box of mismatched puzzle pieces, only with a few clues to guide you. Let's see if you can square the deal and solve this Tasquare teaser in no time. Remember, even in the world of pencil puzzles, thinking inside the square is always a good idea! 💡🧩 #TasquareTwist #PuzzleChampion

Rules: Shade some cells so that each orthogonally connected area of shaded cells is in the shape of a square and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clued cells cannot be shaded, and represent the total size of the shaded squares that share an edge with the clue
