It's time to come clean. We haven't been entirely honest with you. The genre we've featured several times as Tetrochain is actually called Tetrochain-Y. That's because there's a closely related genre by the name of Tetrochain-CTB. Can you guess what the abbreviations are for?

Rules: Shade some tetrominoes of cells such that no two tetrominoes touch each other orthogonally, but all tetrominoes form one diagonally connected network. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not touch diagonally, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Regions with numbers must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. Each tetromino must be part of at least two regions.
