Walker

Today’s GAPP is a Wafusuma! (Walkthroughs will be coming later; this has been a busy week for the GAPP team.) The first appearance of this genre was on Penpa; now that there’s a puzzlink implementation, it seems like a good chance to revisit the genre.

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells. Two regions of the same size may not share an edge. Given clues must separate two different regions. A number on a clue indicates the total number of cells contained in the two regions it separates.

Interface Note: Marking the sizes of regions can be useful when solving! (On mobile, you can tap 2-4 times for numbers between 1 and 3.)
