Today’s GAPP is a Lakes! 🌊 I’ve seen this type referred to as a Nurikabe variant before. But is it really a variant if you’re taking rules away? It makes me curious what other genres could result from removing rules from existing genres…

Rules: Shade some empty cells so that every orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells contains exactly one clue, the value of which represents the size of the area.
